Kidney cancer specialist in Va/MD/DC area?

September 26, 2011 9:39 AM

I need an oncologist that specializes in renal cell carcinoma.

I have just been diagnosed with metastatic kidney cancer several years after my original diagnosis. I am in the Virginia area but, I am willing to travel, VA, Maryland, DC, North Carolina, and even further if they are fantastic.

Please let me know of anywhere you know of.
Thanks.

I work in oncology research, so my first suggestion would be to check out an NCI comprehensive cancer center. UVA has one, as does Johns Hopkins University in MD and Duke in NC.

Good luck.
