Epidemiological characteristics of cancers in patients with end-stage kidney disease: a Korean nationwide study

Abstract Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have been reported to have an increased risk of cancer. However, the epidemiological characteristics of cancer in ESKD patients remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of cancer in ESKD pati...
