Your Henry Ford cancer team will include surgeons who are among the most experienced in the United States and world, having performed more than 1,200 robotic urologic surgeries. You’ll also have a dedicated cancer nurse to support you throughout your care and assist with appointment scheduling.

Our team, led by Dr. Craig Rogers, the top kidney cancer surgeon in the Midwest, continuously work to develop new treatment options, for even the most advanced kidney cancers. Dr. Rogers also leads our multidisciplinary von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) clinic, which brings together experts from more than a dozen specialties to help patients navigate this complex, inherited hereditary cancer syndrome. We have been recognized as a VHL Clinical Care Center by the VHL Alliance.
In 2015, we were the first in the world to perform a new procedure for metastatic kidney cancer. The procedure involved suctioning a kidney cancer tumor from a patient’s vena cava (a vein that carries blood into the heart), followed by minimally invasive kidney removal surgery. The patient then participated in a clinical trial that used genetic material from the tumor to produce a vaccine to fight the disease.
