Research summary
AI-generated

Chandru P. Sundaram conducts clinical research in urologic oncology, focusing on cancers of the urinary tract such as upper tract urothelial carcinoma (cancer of the lining of the kidney's collecting system and ureter), kidney (renal) tumors, and bladder cancer. Much of the work draws on large multi-institutional databases and collaborative registries (such as ROBUUST) to study surgical outcomes, risk prediction, and treatment approaches, including robotic and minimally invasive procedures. Recent studies also explore prediction tools using nomograms and machine learning, as well as surgical practice trends and telesurgery.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
