KidneyCAN is proud to open registration for the 3rd Annual Kidney Cancer Research Summit. KCRS is a meeting focused on basic, translational, and clinical kidney cancer research. This meeting is fueled by the ideas and research funded through the Department of Defense CDMRP-KCRP awards. 

The goal for KCRS is to present the important, innovative research funded by the KCRP. We also aim to connect researchers from around the world to share their work.

Join us on October 7 and 8 for this dynamic, interactive meeting focused on the latest basic science, translational, and clinical research in kidney cancer.

It’s one of the most exciting things I’ve ever participated in. We’re bringing together clinicians, physician scientists, and bench scientists to talk about kidney cancer research. The goal is to invigorate the science and spur breakthroughs.

Dr. Hans Hammers, UTSW

RESEARCH UPDATES

Join Our Grassroots Army

We know that awareness of kidney cancer and its impact on many lives leads to a sense of urgency, a desire for solutions. Awareness leads to advocacy, and advocacy — joining to speak as one voice — leads to funding and research. That’s how we get to cures.

Standing tall in front of the Capitol Building, Kathleen champions the fight against #kidneycancer, inspired by the memory of her husband, Ken Moore, who passed in July 2021. 

With the unwavering support of her children, Allison and Eric, Kathleen joins KidneyCAN today in urging Congress for:

✅ A $60 million appropriation for the #KCRP for FY24.
✅ $50.9 billion for the NIH, including a $9.988 billion appropriation for the NCI.
✅ Long-term #telehealth legislation.
✅ Sustainable funding for medical #research and ensuring the #patientvoice is central in legislative policy, especially in promoting diverse #clinicaltrial enrollment.

Together, we believe in a future with early detection, less toxic treatments, and ultimately, cures for kidney cancer.

In the heart of Washington D.C., as the Rally for Medical Research unfolds, we take a moment to honor the brave souls we’ve lost to kidney cancer. 

Each name on this sign, held by KidneyCAN President Bryan Lewis, is more than a memory—it’s a legacy. 

Many of these patients participated in clinical trials and advocated tirelessly for research funding. Their courage and commitment have paved the path for future advancements in kidney cancer research. 

They were not just patients; they were pioneers, champions for change, ensuring brighter prospects for those who follow in their footsteps. 

Today, we rally in their memory, inspired by their dedication. Their spirit drives our mission forward. 🧡💚
