Kidney Cancer Epidemiology
Stanford Urologic Cancer Epidemiology Lab
Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Urology
at Stanford University
Project Description
The Stanford Urologic Cancer Epidemiology Lab, led by
Associate Professor of Urology Dr. Benjamin I. Chung
at Stanford University, is seeking a talented
scientist to join the research team. We conduct
research projects on the epidemiology of all urologic
cancers with a particular focus on Kidney cancer.
Kidney cancer incidence rates have steadily grown
since the 1990s, with kidney cancer becoming the ninth
most diagnosed cancer in the US. Kidney cancer, often
detected incidentally by imaging, is an
often-understudied neoplasm in cancer epidemiology
research. Kidney cancer represents the deadliest
urological neoplasm and has a dismal late-stage 5-year
survival rate. The goal of this postdoctoral program
is to conduct high-quality epidemiological research in
the field of urological cancers with a special
emphasis on kidney cancer epidemiology (including
prevention and screening, control, etiology, health
disparities, treatment, and survivorship). Research
will be accomplished through an immersive program
designed to provide fellows with the methodology,
clinical exposure, and track record of productivity to
succeed.
