Course Overview

Renal Cancer

Author: R.E. Hengsterman MSN, RN

Renal cancer, or renal cell carcinoma (RCC), originates in the kidney tissues responsible for filtering waste from the blood and producing urine. This comprehensive course delves into the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and clinical manifestations of RCC, the most lethal urologic cancer, accounting for 90% of renal cancer cases. Participants will explore diagnostic techniques, including imaging and biopsy procedures, and examine treatment options such as surgery, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation. The course also emphasizes early detection and advances in molecular and genetic research that enhance diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes. Through case studies and evidence-based practice, learners will gain an in-depth understanding of Renal Cell Cancer management and prognosis
