Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Kidney cancer is the 14th most common cancer worldwide, with an annual incidence of greater than 400,000 cases and over 150,000 deaths. Recent advancements include the adoption of active surveillance for small renal masses, robotic surgery, and improvements in systemic therapy; however, much progress remains to improve early detection of localized disease and survival outcomes.
In this Special Issue, we are honored to invite researchers and clinicians that specialize in kidney cancer to present topics of interest across the spectrum of kidney cancer diagnosis and treatment. We aim to increase the knowledge base of the field by highlighting novel changes to kidney cancer management. Original investigations and review articles are welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advances in diagnosis or screening for kidney cancer;
- Stage migration of disease at diagnosis;
- Novel aspects to surgical management;
- Minimally invasive ablative techniques for localized disease;
- Integration of biomarkers for diagnosis and follow-up after treatment of localized disease;
- Management of variant histology;
- Surgical management of metastatic kidney cancer, including neoadjuvant therapy and oligometastatic disease;
- Timing of cytoreductive nephrectomy after systemic therapy;
- Systemic therapy for metastatic kidney cancer and sequencing of therapy.
We thank the authors in advance for their submissions.
