Several studies published in top medical journals by USC surgeons have found that surgical treatment of kidney cancer is not the daunting prospect it once was.
Three papers, one published in the New England Journal of Medicine and two published in the Journal of Urology, indicate that kidney cancer patients can look forward to a speedier recovery and brighter future. The papers were authored by a team led by Inderbir S. Gill, director of the USC Institute of Urology at the Keck School of Medicine. The studies indicate that outcomes of minimally invasive treatments for patients with organ-confined kidney tumors have improved dramatically.
