At Sri Shankara Cancer Foundation, our Onco-Nephrology Department specializes in protecting kidney function in patients undergoing cancer therapy. We work closely with oncologists to prevent, detect, and manage kidney complications caused by cancer or treatments such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
Healthy kidneys are essential for safely metabolizing and eliminating most cancer drugs. Our goal is to preserve renal function, avoid unnecessary dose reductions, and ensure patients can complete the most effective treatment plan.
