Renal cell carcinoma, more commonly known as kidney cancer, is the 12th most common cancer in the world.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer projects a 22 percent increase in new cases by 2020, making Kidney cancer one of the fastest-growing cancers with over 330,000 new cases diagnosed every year.
This steady rise poses a major public health challenge.

The term 'kidney cancer' describes all tumors that form in the kidney, but not all kidney cancers are the same.
Most of the time kidney cancer does not cause pain and may not have any symptoms until advanced stages when it has started to spread. Appropriate and timely diagnosis is therefore essential and we are proud to support the kidney cancer community for the second World Kidney Cancer Q&A Day.

Supporting efforts to educate and inform about the challenges and unmet needs of kidney cancer patients.
We, at Ipsen, are fully committed to supporting efforts to educate and inform about the challenges and unmet needs of kidney cancer patients. We remain committed to improving the situation of kidney cancer patients by joining forces with all involved stakeholders.
