Pleased to share this link to to an important international clinical trial. The CARE1 clinical trial will look at how different groups of patients respond to 1st line treatment with the intention of discovering which patients are more likely to respond to which combination of drugs. This could mean we could have evidence at long last about which drugs works work best for which patients, no more trial and error and no more wasted time & money and if we find out that certain biomarkers can be relied upon to make the right decisions about drug choice.
IKCC and Action Kidney Cancer are represented on the Management committee of this important international Clinical Trial.

Following a report published by Mission Remission one of our colleagues Steve Pointon Counselling and Support has just recorded an interview with BBC Radio 4 about the effects Cancer has on finances.
The interview will be played after the 12:00 news on Saturday ( at approx 12:04 ). It may also make BBC Breakfast TV on Saturday, but that is subject to the news on that day.

Those of you who know Steve will know this is a subject he is very passionate about and is very close to is heart.

We are delighted that Gary Wiggelsworth and his three friends will be riding 346 km along the Trans Pennine Trail on the 2nd June to challenge themselves and raise funds for Action Kidney Cancer to help improve the lives of those affected by kidney cancer.

Gary was diagnosed with kidney cancer two years ago, without any signs or symptoms. He feels blessed, lucky and grateful, and would like to do his bit to help others through similar challenging times.
