2022 Global Patient Survey on Kidney Cancer Now Open

Highlights from the ESMO Congress 2022

The European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) congress was held in person (for the 1^st time in 2 years) and virtually from 9-13 September 2022. The presentations are available to view on the ESMO website if you have previously logged in to the site. The International Kidney Cancer Coalition (IKCC) attended the scientific programme to keep abreast of the latest advances in the care and treatment of people with kidney cancer.

Mark your calendars

The Global Kidney Cancer Summit 2022 will be held on 13 -15 October 2022.

We are excited to announce we are planning for an in-person meeting in Milan, Italy.
So many of us have missed being in person with the global kidney cancer community and the energy generated when we are all together. And while we have built and strengthened our connections digitally over the past two years, we’re looking forward to being together again.
