Kidney cancer. Silent destroyer
Description
An estimated 12,000 Americans die from kidney cancer every year, succumbing to a distressingly stealthy disease. This program studies kidney-related cancers and the risk factors, physical impact, and treatments associated with renal cell carcinoma-the most common form of nephritic cancer. Touching on the disease's tendency to afflict elderly men, the video describes surgical approaches to fighting it and also describes the advent of new drugs, such as oral medications, that have manageable side effects. Dr. Robert Motzer of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Dr. Daniel Petrylak of Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center provide expert commentary.
