Thanks for the opportunity to share a provocative perspective. When we look at global, national prevalence data for #kidneycancer, we have to acknowledge that we are reaching just the tip of the iceberg. Much work to be done! #ikcc25
Excellent, thought-provoking presentation by Deb Maskens of IKCC on the % of patients that are not being reached by #KidneyCancer organisations and strategies to consider on how we can improve. #IKCC25 @debmaskens.bsky.social
