On September 20, 2026, the UT Southwestern Kidney Cancer Program (KCP) welcomed patients, families, clinicians, researchers, and supporters for an afternoon of learning and connection.
The program featured presentations, a case discussion, and breakout sessions that gave attendees opportunities to ask questions and engage with KCP experts. We also recognized the generosity and dedication of our patient advocates and donors before closing with a reception.
Feedback has been very positive, and we are grateful to everyone who attended, presented, volunteered, or helped make the event possible.
Presentation slides and select photos from the event are available below. Thank you for being part of our KCP community!
