Dr. Bansal’s research is focused on oncological and renal functional outcomes following surgery for renal cancers, strategies to expand organ donor pool and application of minimally invasive surgical techniques in urology. Currently, he is working on projects from multi-institutional Canadian Kidney Cancer research database (CKCis) for oncological outcomes of advanced kidney cancer patients with venous tumour thrombus and paraneoplastic syndromes. Other projects include management of genitourinary malignancies in kidney transplant recipients in Manitoba, oncological outcomes for upper tract urothelial cancers following radical nephroureterectomy and review of living kidney donor registry for peri-operative outcomes of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in elderly individuals. He has presented at many national and international meetings and has multiple peer-reviewed publications on kidney cancer, minimally invasive surgery and kidney transplant. He is also actively involved in clinical trials with Canadian Clinical Trials Group for kidney cancer. In 2019, he was appointed research director for section of urology.
