GU Cancers 2019 | Prognostic value of cytogenic findings in RCC

Cedric Lebacle, of the University of Paris-Sud, Orsay, France, discusses the integration of genomic alterations with clinical and pathologic outcomes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This interview was recorded at the 2019 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, held in San Francisco, CA.
