Needs assessment:

More than 40,000 kidney transplants occur in the world each year. There is a shortage of available organs prompted increased use of expanded criteria donors, who may have one or more “medical complexities” including older age, obesity, or hypertension. The concern is to match the donor kidneys to the growing list of patients to receive a transplant given the complexities and health of the patient. Urologists need to know the standard of care for patients receiving a kidney transplant with various other medical conditions present.

Objectives:

1. Summarize various treatment strategies for kidney transplant patients with prostate cancer.
2. Distinguish the advances or betterment of Robotic vs Open Transplantation.
3. Discuss the evidence regarding use of cytoreductive nephrectomy.
