Reducing the burden of cancer in patients with chronic kidney disease [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have higher rates of cancer than the general population. This program of research will investigate the burden and risk factors for cancer in patients with CKD and develop a risk prediction model to predict the chances of patients with CKD developing or dying from cancer. Cancer screening strategies in patients with CKD will be assessed to determine if these strategies are effective in reducing the risk of cancer death in these high-risk patients.
