“Help Is on the Way” for Kidney Cancer: Dr. Marston Linehan from the National Cancer Institute
For this week’s #KidneyCANDID, we caught up with Dr. Marston Linehan from NCI at last week’s DF/HCC SPORE Advisory Meeting in Boston.
Dr. Linehan pioneered the study of the genetic basis of kidney cancer. His team identified the genes for the common forms of kidney cancer and described the pathways of these kidney cancer genes. His recent studies targeting the metabolic basis of kidney cancer have resulted in the regression of metastatic cancer in patients with type 1 and type 2 papillary kidney cancer.
Dr. Linehan has a message of hope for patients with kidney cancer … take minute to listen!
