Onconephrology, the field that focuses on the intersection of cancer and kidney disease, is facing several challenges. One major challenge is the decline in the nephrology workforce, which leads to long wait times for appointments and suboptimal management of kidney disease. Another challenge is the limited research resources in onconephrology, which hinders the advancement of knowledge in this area. Fragmented clinical guidelines and a lack of structured continued medical education are also obstacles in providing optimal care. To address these challenges, proposed solutions include educating providers and patients, creating multidisciplinary cancer care teams, increasing research partnerships, developing new diagnostic tools, and expanding onconephrology training programs.
