#WorldKidneyCancerDay is coming up on June 18!

This year’s theme, “Kidney Cancer and Emotional Wellbeing,” shines a light on the emotional challenges that often come with a #KidneyCancer diagnosis—anxiety, uncertainty, isolation, and worries about the future.

In the 2025 Global Patient Survey, 85% of kidney cancer patients reported experiencing emotional wellbeing challenges, yet many never discuss them with loved ones or their care teams.

This World Kidney Cancer Day, we’re helping raise awareness and encouraging more open conversations about emotional health, support, and resilience within the kidney cancer community.

Sky is the limit with our @WDKhatoun discussing, for the first time, the role of CARINH expression as a prognostic marker in mccRCC.

Excited to see where this outstanding physician-scientist will match!

Nature finally published it!

The Reich Lab article on genetic selection in Europe over the last 10,000 years is finally online, and it includes such interesting results as:

- Intelligence has increased
- People got lighter
- Mental disorders became less common

And more!

I review the statistics in ~200 manuscripts a year for some of the top urology journals in the world.

Here's what I actually do — and the mistakes I see in almost every paper. 🧵

[Maxine Sun @maxinesun]

This is a great opportunity! I encourage those who are interested to get in touch with Rod 👇

Thanks to everyone who participated advocating for such an important cause.

[Chuck Stravin @CJSTRAV3]

When patients, caregivers, doctors, clinicians, and scientists come together and speak with one voice, something powerful happens.

Today during @kidneycan Spring Advocacy Day, we stood together with ONE purpose: MORE research, MORE progress, MORE lives saved.

Because kidney cancer patients can’t wait. #KidneyCancer #AdvocacyDay #AcceleratingCures #BostonStrong

Another Claude project: a static site that pulls in GWAS SNP data from ensemble, multiple public biobanks, open targets, gtex, eqtl catalog, and OMIM.

Really looking forward to attending this meeting and honored to have been selected to give a short talk on my work exploring the shared genetic architecture of RCC, coronary artery disease, and clonal hematopoiesis, highlighting the TERT promoter region. ##AACR #kidneyCa

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!!
