IKCC have identified that if you can maintain a healthy weight
this reduces your risk of cancers and heart disease.
If you need to lose weight – or gain weight, as people with kidney cancer often do – your doctor may be able to help.

Our two video interviews, Diet and kidney cancer part one and two where Karen McNee talks with Bruno Malfrici, a Dietitian specialising in diets for people with kidney disease, discuss a healthy diet for people with kidney cancer provides good information.

To 'Show your kidneys some love' IKCC have created a useful checklist for World Kidney Cancer Day, you can take this to your doctor to check your kidney health.

Kidney health is important not just for your physical and mental
health, poor kidney function can affect quality of life and exclude you from some treatments and clinical trials.

To find out more about and to download the checklist please follow the link below:

The government's new 10 Year Health Plan, due to be launched this summer, aims to speed up clinical research in the UK to enable millions of people to take part in clinical trials.

* Millions to take part in clinical trials under 10 Year Health Plan, transforming patient care with groundbreaking treatments, while driving growth.

* Unparalleled access to trials via NHS App, and public reporting of trusts to show who is and is not delivering on trials, with funding prioritised for best performers.

* Plan for Change will turbocharge clinical research to regain UK’s clout on world stage and deliver most ambitious reduction in trial set-up times in British history.
