"Without KidneyCAN, without advocates going to the hill, sitting in front of politicians and telling their stories -- there would not have been any funding for kidney cancer." - Dr. @HHammersMD, UTSW Please take a moment to watch our new video, sharing the KidneyCAN story, and how we're working to accelerate cures for #kidneycancer.

Before a new cancer treatment can become widely available, researchers must study its safety and effectiveness through clinical trials. Each phase serves a different purpose, from evaluating safety and determining appropriate doses to understanding how well a treatment works and comparing it with existing options. Understanding these phases can help patients feel more informed when exploring clinical trials and discussing potential opportunities with their healthcare team. Interested in learning more about clinical trials that may be relevant to you? The KidneyCAN Clinical Trial Navigator can help you explore your options with a free, personalized search: kidneycan.org/clinical-trial… #AcceleratingCures

If you’re caring for someone living with kidney cancer, this one’s for you. 💙 Tracie knew she couldn't be the only caregiver navigating the challenges of #kidneycancer. When she found an online community, she discovered support, connection, and a sense of belonging that made a lasting impact. Finding that kind of support isn’t always easy. Now, Kompass, a resource built with @kcCURE, @kidneycan, @KidneyCancer, @nkf, & @EisaiUS, helps caregivers find personalized resources, support groups, and other sources of support tailored to their needs.

Not every clinical trial is right for every patient. That's why finding relevant options starts with understanding more about YOU! The KidneyCAN Clinical Trial Navigator considers several important factors when identifying potential matches, including your diagnosis, your treatment history, your disease characteristics, and your location. Using this information, the Navigator helps identify clinical trials that may be relevant to your specific circumstances, making it easier to explore your options and discuss them with your care team.
