I��m still here 10+ years after a Stage IV kidney cancer diagnosis because Research gave me more options, and more tomorrows.
I’m asking other Kidney Cancer patients & Caregivers to join me for @KidneyCAN Advocacy Days later this month.
Your story matters. Your voice matters.
Show up. Speak up.
It's now our turn to help other patients!

You’ve seen the academic “I love me” wall, but what about the academic “I love my wife” wall? 🥰

My anesthesiologist wife doesn’t get her own office, so in honor of her 🎉 promotion 🎊 to Associate Professor at @CityofHope, I thought it fitting to make her my Zoom background 🥳

[Sara Coca Membribes @scocmem]

Thank you @RodrigoFribourg and @WesleyYipMD for this thoughtful editorial on our CALYPSO KIM-1 analysis in @EUplatinum

📌 Dynamic KIM-1 changes may track radiological response across ccRCC and pRCC.

Still exploratory and needs validation.

We were honored to have @VirajMaster deliver the keynote of our @CityofHope Annual GU Research Symposium to help shape our upcoming clinical trial and correlative biomarker designs.

What better way to thank him than with a Peking duck? 🦆

[Wesley Yip @WesleyYipMD]

@COH_RadOnc @ColtonLadbury Congrats!! What a 🌟

[KidneyCAN @kidneycan]

The final scientific session of #KCRS26 highlighted the next generation of discoveries in #KidneyCancer research, from biomarkers and immunotherapy to novel cellular therapies and precision medicine.

Every presentation added another piece to the puzzle, bringing us one step closer to better outcomes for people affected by kidney cancer.

[Sumanta K. Pal, MD, FASCO @montypal]

Mind blowing 🤯 talk from #DrBertrandRouty @UMontreal on the #microbiome in #kidneycancer & beyond. Beautiful data in @Nature & @NatureMedicine very recently showing (convincingly) the impact of diet on therapeutic outcomes! Could Lactobacillus johnsonii be a key mediator? An obesogenic diet? Need more studies!

[Wesley Yip @WesleyYipMD]

Science is great, but have you ever helped yourself to this many lobster rolls? #KCRS26

[Tom Powles @tompowles1]

Toni Choueiri @DrChoueiri receiving the lifetime achievement award #KCRS26 . Leading a plethora of practice changing trials from METEOR to LITESPARK. >900 publications. Amazing achievement and well deserved.

[Wesley Yip @WesleyYipMD]

It’s becoming a recurring theme for @CityofHope fellows (and alumni) of the @MontyPal team to need extra luggage to bring home all the awards from #KCRS26. Congrats @RWinayak @NickSalgia and @EbrahimiHedyeh!!

[Wesley Yip @WesleyYipMD]

And @NickSalgia and @SalvadorjcMD too!

[Wesley Yip @WesleyYipMD]

Love this start to #KCRS26 from Craig Thompson @MSKCancerCenter.

Bonus: 👋 hi from the mural from me and @UrologyMSK/@AmerUrological USMART Program mentor @AriHakimi

[Wesley Yip @WesleyYipMD]

Excited to share this bc I felt like the lab lights were starting to dim with unsuccessful submissions elsewhere…

We are so back! Many thanks to mentor @montypal and #DiamondLab

To other young investigators, keep submitting! As @yunroseli says, “water will pass through stone”
