Global Kidney Cancer Summit 2021

September 21, 2021

The International Kidney Cancer Coalition (IKCC) holds its 2021 Global Kidney Cancer Summit on Friday, September 24 and Saturday, September 25 from 7-10 am EDT.

EVENT WILL BE STREAMED LIVE ON FACEOOK ON THIS LINK

This year, the primary focus of the global conference will be grounded in connection. In a time when being together still isn’t quite possible, IKCC wants to put every effort into building, maintaining and strengthening the connection throughout the global kidney cancer community.

They will focus on learning from each other, sharing successes and challenges and helping to build capacity across the network together. In many ways, this takes us back to IKCC’s beginnings and will help us focus on what’s been IKCC’s unwavering goal as a Coalition – to reduce the burden of kidney cancer worldwide.

Affiliate Organisations will be asked to share experiences from their region and present on a variety of topics, including but not limited to:

Patient support program successes and challenges:
- Strengthening patient support programs to cope with diagnosis
- Ways to supporting carers
- Reaching and engaging new patients and carers
- Learning to effectively listen
- Stories of survivorship
Working with healthcare professionals
Fundraising success and challenges
Organisational successes, challenges, key initiatives and best practices
Patient groups emerging from the pandemic
