Renal Cell Carcinoma (Kidney Cancer) Support Group
Renal cell carcinoma, also known by a gurnistical tumor, is the most common form of kidney cancer arising from the renal tubule. It is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults. Initial therapy is with surgery. It is notoriously resistant to radiation therapy and chemotherapy, although some cases respond to immunotherapy.
My wife has kidney cancer and we've been going to a national cancer center for 10 years. Lately, we are not please with them. They are non-responsive and don't seem to care about my wife's treatment any more.
As a result, we're looking for a new hospital to treat my wife's kidney cancer. We'd like to know what are the best places to treat her disease in the US. We are willing to travel and spend money.
My anxiety level is through the roof so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Wishing that DS could become what it...
