New Horizons in Nephrology: Update in Onco-Nephrology

Onco-Nephrology, which embodies the unique connection that exists for kidney disease and cancer in clinical medicine, continues to grow by leaps and bounds. The increasing interest in the subfield of Onco-Nephrology is witnessed by the recent conference dedicated to this area that took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. In this issue of the Journal of Onco-Nephrology, a series of papers addressing important topics in this area of subspecialization is presented as part of the Onco-Nephrology Highlights section. These papers are based on some of the lectures delivered at the above-noted Onco-Nephrology Symposium. I hope you find these four papers educational and practical in your provision of care to patients with cancer and kidney disease.
