Urologic oncologist Kimryn Rathmell, MD, PhD, associate director for education and training at UNC Lineberger was grateful to the Kidney Cancer Association for sponsoring the conference. “The live video cast of the meeting brought the content to a wider audience, so the impact of this meeting was even more widespread,” said Rathmell. “The opportunity to share information, stories, and hope between individuals and across many miles was very rewarding.”
