Dear Healthcare Professional,

Welcome to the latest edition of the Cleveland Clinic Physician’s Guide to Renal Cell Carcinoma. It comes to you courtesy of the Cleveland Clinic’s Disease Management Project (DMP) in collaboration with Bulletin Healthcare, the leading provider of medical news updates.

We asked leading experts Namita Chittoria, MD, and Brian I. Rini, MD, to develop this guide to this prevalent disease. We hope you find it valuable in your efforts to provide positive patient outcomes.

The Cleveland Clinic Physician’s Guide to Renal Cell Carcinoma was developed to keep you well versed on everything from diagnosis through treatment and anticipated outcomes. In addition, you’ll receive news updates on RCC from Bulletin Healthcare, which also prepares briefings for such medical associations as the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the American Medical Association (AMA).

We trust you will find the guide and news updates useful and educational. Please forward your thoughts about them to me at diseasemanagement@ccf.org.

My sincere thanks,

William Carey, MD
Editor-in-Chief
