Ep. 228 Multidisciplinary Approaches to Renal Cancer Care with Dr. Louis Hinshaw and Dr. Jason Abel

This week we bring together urologists and radiologists to work towards a shared goal of innovating on kidney cancer care. Dr. Jason Abel, Professor of Urology and Radiology at the University of Wisconsin, and Dr. Louis Hinshaw, Section Chief of Abdominal Imaging Intervention at the University of Wisconsin, join our host Dr. Ruchika Talwar for a multidisciplinary conversation regarding the treatment of renal tumors. --- This podcast is supported by: ⁠Ferring Pharmaceuticals⁠ --- SYNPOSIS Their discussion covers the history and benefits of collaboration between urology and interventional radiology (IR), advances in image-guided procedural technologies, and the importance of teamwork in improving patient outcomes. The episode also considers the encouraging, but limited data in IR treatments such as microwave ablation and discusses the lasting role for surgery. Finally, Dr. Abel and Dr. Hinshaw share their experiences in establishing a successful interdisciplinary kidney cancer program. Ultimately, they conclude that the future of renal tumor treatment lies not in silos, but in collaboration. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 04:04 - Collaboration Between Urologists and Interventional Radiologists 05:58 - Advancements in Ablation 10:05 - Patient Selection 15:19 - Technical Considerations 26:57 - Post-Ablation Surveillance and Recurrence Management 33:19 - Conclusion
