Expert Highlights Importance of Early Kidney Damage Detection in Gynecological Cancer Patients

Dr. Cristina Pereyra, an internal medicine-nephrology specialist and coordinator of the Oncology Nephrology Committee (SLANH), emphasized the critical need for early identification of renal compromise in gynecological cancer patients. During her presentation at the VI International Congress of the Dominican Society of Gynecological Oncology, Dr. Pereyra addressed how kidney dysfunction can develop as a complication in cancer patients, potentially affecting treatment outcomes and quality of life. Early detection of renal involvement allows clinicians to implement preventive strategies and adjust cancer therapies accordingly. This multidisciplinary approach combining oncology and nephrology expertise is essential for optimizing patient care and reducing complications.
