The Kidney in Cancer Care: Navigating Increasingly Complex Clinical Challenges

As cancer therapies evolve and survival improves, the kidney sits at the centre of an expanding web of clinical challenges. This session examines three critical intersections: kidney function as a metric in determining treatment eligibility and safety; anemia at the crossroads of CKD and cancer, where overlapping mechanisms complicate diagnosis and management; and the evolving understanding of pre-malignant conditions like monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance, where early recognition and a shift toward induction-and-maintenance treatment paradigms are key to preserving kidney health.
