Kidney cancer is the third most commonly occurring genitourinary cancer in adults. There are approximately 79,000 new kidney cancer cases each year in the United States, and the incidence of kidney cancer appears to be on the rise.

The UF Health Cancer Institute received designation from the NCI because of the exceptional, multidisciplinary care the Cancer Center delivers to patients and the leading-edge clinical research conducted by its faculty. Our providers across the spectrum of cancer care work together to provide personalized care to each individual patient. Cases are presented at weekly tumor boards which are attended by physicians across multiple departments, so they can work together to develop the best treatment plan possible.
