'Treatment disconnect' in kidney cancer: Rising mortality despite more small tumors, more surgery
The rising incidence of kidney cancer may be due to an increase in the number of small, treatable kidney tumors. view more (2006-09-20)
A new pharmaceutical drug that halts progress of metastatic kidney cancer
Research has shown the efficacy of a pharmaceutical drug known as sunitinib which halts progress of metastatic kidney cancer. view more (2007-03-02)
Immune deficiency linked to a type of eye cancer
The incidence of squamous cell eye cancer is greater among kidney transplant patients and people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than the general public, which suggests the disease is associated with immune deficiency. view more (2007-08-15)
Kidney transplantation linked with increased risk of various cancers
Following kidney transplantation, some recipients may face a 3-fold increased risk of certain cancer types, according to a study in the December 20 issue of JAMA. view more (2006-12-20)
Research suggests doctors should consider kidney-sparing surgery
A study of almost 1,500 kidney cancer patients treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center suggests that surgery to spare as much kidney tissue as possible may improve overall survival in patients who also have reduced kidney function at the time their cancer is diagnosed. view more (2008-10-01)
Targeted therapy shows significant benefits over standard treatment for advanced kidney cancer
According to a new study, the drug sunitinib malate (Sutent®) is more effective than the current standard cytokine treatment given as an initial therapy for patients with advanced kidney cancer, also known as metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). view more (2006-06-05)
Majority of kidney cancers diagnosed at earliest stage
Patients in the United States today are now much more likely to be diagnosed with smaller tumors, in the earliest, most treatable stage of kidney cancer than a decade ago, leading to a slightly higher survival rate, according to the results of a national study led by a UC San Diego Medical Center researcher. view more (2008-05-19)
Robotic approach to urothelial cancer of the kidney proves to be beneficial for patients
Robotic trained surgeons at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia presented a new and novel approach to surgically treat urothelial cancer (in the lining of the bladder or kidney) today at the American Urological Association's Annual Meeting. view more (2009-04-27)
Radical surgery for kidney cancer is risk factor for chronic kidney disease
For forty years, the gold standard for treating a single, small tumor in the kidney has been to remove the entire kidney. view more (2006-09-06)
Cryoablation continues to show good results for kidney cancer patients
A review of 62 Mayo Clinic patients who underwent cryoablation to treat cancerous kidney tumors shows that the patients are cancer free for up to two and a half years after having had the procedure. view more (2007-11-26)
Drug fends off kidney cancer progression
New data from an international, multicenter Phase III clinical trial has found that the experimental targeted therapy everolimus (RAD001) significantly delays cancer progression in patients with metastatic kidney cancer whose disease had worsened on other treatments. view more (2008-05-19)
Cancer cells 'reprogram' energy needs to grow and spread, study suggests
Studying a rare inherited syndrome, researchers at Johns Hopkins have found that cancer cells can reprogram themselves to turn down their own energy-making machinery and use less oxygen, and that these changes might help cancer cells survive and spread. view more (2007-05-08)
Robotic assisted kidney cancer surgery proves to be beneficial to patients
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers find that outcomes of robotic assisted kidney cancer surgery, when performed by experienced surgeons at high volume centers, prove more beneficial to patients when compared to open surgery. view more (2009-04-27)
Does a person's insurance coverage affect their access to quality cancer care?
Does a person's insurance coverage affect their access to quality cancer care? According to researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center, insurance coverage may not only affect a patient's access to health care, but also the quality of care they receive. view more (2009-04-27)
NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia leads research into robotic surgery for kidney cancer
Clinical research at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center is helping bring the advantages of robotic surgery, including reduced pain and quicker recovery, to kidney cancer patients. view more (2008-07-29)
How less can be more when treating some kidney cancers
A new Mayo Clinic study suggests that removing the entire kidney from younger patients with small kidney tumors may lead to decreased overall survival compared with an operation that removes the tumor but leaves the kidney intact. The study will be published in the February issue of the Journal of Urology. view more (2008-01-09)
More kidney cancer is detected and treated early, yet death rate rises
The number of cases of kidney cancer has been rising over the last two decades, and new research from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center shows that this increase is driven largely by the detection of small, presumably curable, kidney masses. view more (2006-09-20)
Prescribing information for kidney disease far too vague
Prescribing information for healthcare professionals treating patients with kidney disease is too vague, concludes the latest issue of Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB). view more (2006-12-07)
Predicting outcomes for kidney transplant patients
A new study in the American Journal of Transplantation cites evidence in favor of using the protein biomarkers NGAL and IL-18 as a means to determine whether kidney transplant patients will require dialysis within the first week of transplant surgery. view more (2006-04-26)
Finding Will Improve Accuracy of Cancer Diagnosis
Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) investigators working in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic researchers have determined that two types of kidney tumors previously thought to be different diseases are actually variations of the same disease. view more (2009-04-30)
