Title:	Surveillance-RCC: Investigation of follow-up care after surgery for kidney cancer
Project Description:	The aim of this project is to investigate follow-up care, with a focus on surveillance for recurrent disease, in patients after surgery for kidney cancer. This will include: A systematic review of existing risk prediction models that are used to predict prognosis (probability of recurrence or survival) and stratify follow-up after kidney cancer surgery. A focus group study investigating the experiences of follow-up care for patients after kidney cancer surgery. A systematic review of guidelines for follow-up care in common solid cancers, in particular, identifying strategies used for risk stratification. Further studies may be added in the future.
