Kidney Cancer Clinical Research

Research Approach and Overview

Through our clinical research, we have consolidated an outcomes database for clinical renal tumors.

This outcomes database should allow us to compile and analyze information regarding:

  • The best surgical techniques and outcomes
  • Ways to minimize potential complications
  • Strategies to preserve kidney function after therapy
  • Improvements to health care delivery for patients with renal tumors
