Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to summarize the renal problems encountered in the management of adult genito-urinary cancers. Maintenance of renal function is crucial in the management of most malignancies including genitourinary cancer as optimal renal function is necessary for multimodal cancer therapy. There are a number of scenarios when either renal function is likely to be compromised as a result of cancer itself (e.g. Bilateral obstruction of ureters), treatment (following chemotherapy or surgery) and occasionally long time after the treatment (Retroperitoneal fibrosis).
