World Kidney Cancer Day is celebrated around the world every year on the third Thursday of June by patients, carers, healthcare professionals and local organisations. Since it was established in 2017, it is a day dedicated to raising awareness of the local and global impact of kidney cancer, educating people about the disease, and making a difference in the lives of people affected by kidney cancer.
2025 World Kidney Cancer Day – 19 June
World Kidney Cancer Day was on Thursday 19th June 2025. The theme for 2025 was Show your kidneys some love. Inspired by findings from the recent Global Patient Survey, the campaign focused on raising awareness of the importance of kidney health when affected by kidney cancer.
The campaign featured resources in 13 languages including information about kidney health, a downloadable checklist for patients, and a Twibbon for social media. IKCC also hosted an online Global Patient & Carer Symposium, where all aspects of keeping kidneys healthy when living with kidney cancer was discussed.
