The IKCC at the EAU Annual Meeting 2022

This year’s European Association of Urology (EAU) Annual Meeting was held from 1-4 July 2022 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Members of the IKCC Board and staff attended the meeting, and the IKCC had a booth in the exhibition hall. Here are the highlights from each of these sessions.

Kidney Cancer Highlights from ASCO 2022

This year’s American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting was held both virtually and face-to-face from 3-7 June 2022. The presentations are available to view on the ASCO website. The International Kidney Cancer Coalition (IKCC) reviewed the virtual scientific programme to keep abreast of the latest advances in the care and treatment of patients 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.
