Renal Cell Carcinoma and End Stage Renal Disease

Abstract

RCC in patients with ESRD are of clinical significance, considering the size, grade, histology and pathological stage of these tumors. The higher prevalence of clinically significant RCC in patients with ESRD as well as the risk of cancer progression while patients are on immunosuppressive medications justifies screening for RCC in patients with ESRD who are awaiting renal transplantation.
