“Like any disease state, you want to make sure you have the right diagnosis; otherwise, you're not going to have a successful treatment plan," says Karyn S. Eilber, MD.

We preview several noteworthy P2 presentations in the urologic oncology space.

“You absolutely need to have a CT scan prior to the surgery to best identify and really intimately understand the kidney’s anatomy," says Perry Xu, MD.
