2024 Global Patient Survey
The 2024 IKCC 2024 Global Patient Survey on Kidney Cancer and Growths will launch on 23 September. The survey will have revised and improved questions, as well as new special topic questions on areas of emerging interest. It will be available in 15 languages.
When local efforts are strengthened with a global approach, we can have a great impact on improving the lives of people with kidney cancer.

ASCO 2024 Summary of Kidney Cancer Highlights
We were at ASCO24 in Chicago, US at the beginning of June for one of the world’s most important oncology conferences where new data, research findings and education were presented.
Members of the IKCC Medical Advisory Board have created a patient-friendly summary of highlights related to kidney cancer treatment. It’s our goal to help support patients and carers in their treatment decisions by making the best and most up-to-date information about kidney cancer available.
