The Kidney Cancer Association (KCA) will partner with xCures, the AI-driven medical record aggregator and research company, to bring advanced opportunities for clinical trial participation and treatment to kidney cancer patients.
The partnership builds on xCures’ expertise in real-world oncology data to accelerate research advances in kidney cancer. Researchers collaborating with the KCA may access xCures’ database of deidentified, real-time, regulatory-grade clinical data to support their work.
In parallel, patients can contribute their medical records to the database as a way to get involved in research efforts. Through the xCures portal, patients can also access their medical records in a streamlined collection for easier decision making. xCures’ clinical data technology may also help patients find optimal treatment options and potentially match them with appropriate clinical trials.
The KCA/xCures partnership represents a joint effort to support both patients and researchers in an effort to advance kidney cancer science and pursue cures.
