Treatment Barriers and Shared Decision-Making Disparities in Kidney Cancer Across Europe: Results from the IKCC Global Patient Survey Presenter Dr. Eric Jonasch 🇺🇸
The International Kidney Cancer Coalition (IKCC) launched its fourth Global Patient Survey in 2024 and sought input from patients associated with its partner organizations on key topics pertaining to patient knowledge, engagement, and outlook. Globally, 2,677 responses were received, including 1,247 responses from Europe, with input from 1003 patients and 244 carers. Despite higher reported involvement in shared decisionmaking in Europe versus the rest of the world, significant differences are observed between countries, and barriers persist across Europe. There remains an unmet need for enhanced clinician–patient communication, improved patient education, and access to care. Working with patient organizations in a country-specific manner may help decrease disparities.

.@CliffordHudis at #ASCO25: ~40% cut to NCI budget in Admin's '26 proposal. We are in a tragic paradox: remarkable science & historic cuts to resources needed to turn these opps into hope for millions of pts. Our advocacy, is more important than ever➡️brnw.ch/21wT3U4View quoted post on X
