2019 Onco-Nephrology Symposium

At least 1 out of every 10 cancer patients will experience acute kidney injury and up to 25% will have chronic kidney disease. Cancer is a common global problem, and as cancer treatments evolve, the nephrologist will be tasked with diagnosing and managing more complex cases within this subgroup of patients.

The 2019 Onco-Nephrology Symposium will offer up to date information and insights from national and international experts in this constantly evolving subspecialty.  This goal of this forum is to provide an opportunity for academicians and clinicians to have personal exchanges with experts in this steadily expanding sub specialty in order to enhance the clinical experience of our cancer patients.  

This symposium is intended for physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, medical students and other healthcare professionals in Hospital Medicine, Internal Medicine, Nephrology and Oncology.
