New Cleveland Clinic Kidney Cancer Treatment Guide Now Available
A new guide from Cleveland Clinic outlines the various approaches to kidney cancer treatment. The coverage includes surgical treatments like partial nephrectomy and non-surgical therapies like cryoablation and targeted molecular therapy. The guide also includes a comprehensive list of Cleveland Clinic doctors who treat kidney cancer from the Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute and the Taussig Cancer Institute.
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) March 10, 2009 -- Around 54,000 new cases of kidney cancer appeared in the U.S. last year, according to the National Cancer Institute. Kidney cancer requires immediate treatment steps, and Cleveland Clinic's new guide informs patients of the many treatment options associated with kidney cancer.
The comprehensive, educational guide to kidney cancer treatment is informed by credentials that come from performing over 4,000 partial nephrectomies, more than any institution in the world. From laparoscopic surgery to cryotherapy, the guide covers surgical treatments, non-surgical therapies, and innovative therapies for kidney cancer. Drawing on knowledge and experience of Clinic urologists and their long history of pioneering advancements in kidney surgery, the guide describes open and laparoscopic partial nephrectomies and their benefits to the patient. The guide also includes an overview on non-surgical therapies such as radiation, immunotherapy, and targeted molecular therapy.
"The management of kidney cancer has been revolutionized by better treatments and safer, less invasive surgery; but a caring, dedicated doctor is still the most essential component," says Steven C. Campbell, MD, PhD, Professor of Surgery and Residency Program Director at the Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute.
The Kidney Cancer Treatment Guide will be available via download or email after filling out a form on Cleveland Clinic's website.
