Specialized doctors worldwide

Who conducts research into renal cancer? Everyone here comes from a public register: as principal investigator of a study at ClinicalTrials.gov, or as last author of publications in PubMed. Those are two different things, so we put them in two lists side by side instead of combining them into one figure.

This is not a referral and not a judgment on care. We know nothing about how these people treat, whether they accept patients, or how to reach them. We do not display contact details. If you want a second opinion or a referral, go through your own specialist.
