Abstract

Genitourinary cancers are diverse in their presentation, prevalence, and mortality risk. Although there have been significant advancements in medical (eg, immune checkpoint inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors) and surgical treatments of genitourinary cancers, patients are still at risk for chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and electrolyte derangements in the short and long term. In addition, pre-existing kidney disease may increase the risk of developing some genitourinary cancers. This review focuses on the kidney-related effects of treatments for renal cell carcinoma and bladder and prostate cancers.
