SUMMARY:World Kidney Cancer Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:For World Kidney Cancer Day 2026\, we’re raising awareness of emotional wellbeing for those living with kidney cancer\, providing information and tools to help them talk more openly and access support if they need it. \n\n\n\n\nVisit worldkidneycancerday.org\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe International Kidney Cancer Coalition’s 2025 Global Patient Survey revealed 85% of kidney cancer patients experienced emotional wellbeing challenges. Yet far too many never talk about them with family\, friends or their medical teams. \n\n\n\nWorld 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.  \n\n\n\nWorld Kidney Cancer Day is an initiative helmed by the International Kidney Cancer Coalition (IKCC)\, a global network working together to reduce the burden of kidney cancer locally and globally through collaboration\, sharing and learning from each other. Activities and resources include:  \n\n\n\n\nKidney Cancer and Emotional Wellbeing Global Symposium\n\n\n\nEmotional Wellbeing Check-in (5 questions)\n\n\n\nPractical tips for patients and caregivers\n\n\n\n\nLearn more at worldkidneycancerday.org. \n\n\n\nThe Kidney Cancer Association is a proud IKCC Partner Organisation and World Kidney Cancer Day participant. Consider joining the KCA’s 2026 KCA Challenge: 81K Strong as a way to recognize World Kidney Cancer Day!

SUMMARY:Hot Topics in Renal Cell Carcinoma: What we know and looking to the future
DESCRIPTION:Renal cell carcinoma is a highly heterogeneous and evolving disease that continues to pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.Advances in imaging and pathology are refining tumor characterization\, while innovations in surgery\, ablative approaches\, radiotherapy\, and systemic treatments are reshaping clinical practice across both localized and advanced settings.  \n\n\n\nThis congress aims to offer a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of these developments\, combining evidence-based insights with expert perspectives and real-world experience. By addressing key controversies\, highlighting emerging data\, and exploring future directions\, the meeting seeks to support clinicians in optimizing decision-making and delivering increasingly personalized and effective care for patients with renal cell carcinoma.
