Women in RCC empowers and elevates female physicians in kidney cancer to lead and succeed through trainings, mentorship, open forums, and camaraderie. From its initial gatherings during the KCA’s International Kidney Cancer Symposiums (IKCS), Women in RCC hosts multiple events, initiatives, and resources throughout the year to meet the needs of its members.

“The Women in RCC group enhances career development of women and junior health providers working in the kidney cancer field. One of our main goals is to generate camaraderie and bonding between the women in this field.”
