The National Patient and Caregiver Annual Forum 2020 was held virtually featuring sessions on the latest strategies, treatments and information to help patients live, survive and thrive with kidney cancer. This is also an excellent source of information for caregivers and family members who support loved ones with kidney cancer.
Sessions include highlights on clinical trials, changes in standard of care, specific sessions on SBRT and Active Surveillance, research and much more.
