#KidneyCancer can be difficult to detect because many people have few or no symptoms in its early stages. Understanding what to watch for and how kidney cancer is diagnosed can help people seek care sooner and ask the right questions.

Today on Capitol Hill, KidneyCAN advocates are sharing the priorities that matter most for the #KidneyCancer community.
Our message is simple: research saves lives, and continued federal investment is essential to accelerate new treatments and cures.
#RestoreTheResearch #AcceleratingCures
Advocacy Days are almost here!
Patients, caregivers, and advocates from across the country will come together to make #KidneyCancer research a priority on Capitol Hill. Conversations will turn into commitments, and voices will turn into action.
We’re ready to keep #AcceleratingCures.
Today, on #InternationalWomensDay, we recognize the women affected by #KidneyCancer, as patients, caregivers, researchers, and advocates.
Thousands of women are diagnosed each year, and outcomes can vary based on stage, access to care, and participation in clinical research.
