Abstract

Constitution of the World Health Organization defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” According to latest Global Cancer Data there are more than 20 million new cancer cases and it is predicted to increase to 77% by 2050. The incidence of kidney impairment in patients with cancer is high and it is related with reduced cancer survival. These numbers confirm that both conditions impact health quality of life and need a multidisciplinary approach in order to provide professional care. Onco-Nephrology is a new evolving sub-speciality that addresses the intersection between oncology and nephrology. In this manuscript we aim to highlight the essential role of approved and specialised knowledge as a need of the hour among these patients, to the fullest attainment of health.
