World Kidney Cancer Day is observed worldwide every third Thursday of June, with the next occurrence on June 18. Established in 2017 by the International Kidney Cancer Coalition (IKCC), this day focuses on raising awareness about kidney cancer, including its symptoms, risk factors, prevention, early detection, and treatment options. Kidney cancer, which encompasses renal cell carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma, is the 13th most common form of cancer globally. The IKCC aims to educate the public, support patients, and advocate for improved access to care and research funding. Activities on this day may include educational campaigns, community events, and initiatives to promote early diagnosis and treatment.
