Скачать или смотреть Tulane Doctors Health Minutes - Pedro Barata, MD, MSc

Hi. I’m Dr. Pedro Barata. I’m a GU medical oncologist at Tulane University. I would like to take a moment to talk about kidney cancer. Kidney cancer is frequent. It is actually more frequent in the state of Louisiana compared with the average in the country. It is more common in men than in women. It is usually associated with obesity, smoking, family history of cancer, etc. Here at Tulane University we offer a number of different systemic treatments that includes targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and clinical trials in different settings of the disease with the goal of improving the outcomes of these patients. If detected early, that can significantly improve the clinical outcomes. If you and your family have any questions about the management of kidney cancer, the doctors at Tulane would be more than happy to help. For more information go to www.Tulanedoctors.com
