Abstract
The fast-paced growth of Onco-Nephrology reflects the unique connection that exists for kidney disease and cancer in clinical medicine. This area of sub-specialization combines the knowledge and skills of a number of specialty groups that span all corners of medicine. Nephrologists, oncologists, urologists, intensivists, pharmacologists, and palliative care specialists are all important players in this arena. In this issue of the Journal of Onco-Nephrology, a series of papers addressing the various forms of kidney disease that develop in patients with cancer is presented as part of the Onco-Nephrology Highlights section. These papers are based on the Onco-Nephrology Symposium that took place at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, USA. I hope you find these 4 papers educational and practical in your provision of care to patients with cancer and kidney disease.
