A Genitourinary Surgeon Discusses Hereditary Kidney Cancers
In today's #KidneyCANDID, Dr. Brandon Manley from the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, discusses hereditary renal cancers. The most common is von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, though it is not the only hereditary #kidneycancer. Dr. Manley offers advice for understanding the diagnosis, finding support in patient groups, and connecting with genetic specialists to understand the impact of your diagnosis on family members.
