NYU attempted to sue St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital for not properly screening the kidney which makes me wonder if anyone at NYU was told about the donor kidney being cancerous. Statements in the article make it sound like St. Luke's records pertaining to the kidney aren't going to be released without their voluntary release from the estate of the donor or someone suing the estate of the donor for their release.
