What an absolute honor to chair the papillary RCC Education Session at #ASCO26! 🙌🔬

Papillary renal cell carcinoma is a disease that demands our attention, and this session covered the full spectrum 🧬 — biology ➡️ frontline ➡️ refractory disease.

I was thrilled to review subsequent lines + novel therapeutic approaches for refractory papillary RCC 💉💙, including the emerging strategies and clinical trial opportunities that give me so much hope for our patients. 🌟

Huge thanks to my incredible co-faculty Dr. Ramaprasad Srinivasan 🧠 & @charlesbnguyen for such an engaging discussion — collaboration like this is what moves the field forward! 🚀

🎤 An inspiring keynote at the 1st Northern California Genitourinary Cancer Research Forum from @montypal on The Art of Clinical Trial Accrual for Genitourinary Malignancies.

Clinical trials are how we turn scientific discovery into better care. But a trial can only change lives if we find ways to bring it to the patients who need it.

Grateful for the reminder that accrual is not just a metric. It is access, opportunity, and hope. 🧬

🎗️ A #KCRS26 Hall of Fame honor that could not be more deserved. @DrChoueiri has advanced kidney cancer science on every front, but ask anyone here and they will tell you about his mentorship first, the way he makes room for others and celebrates their wins as his own. So many of us are here because he lit the path and held the door open.
Congratulations, and thank you @kidneycan
