Together, we can improve the lives of people living with kidney cancer
Together for Kidney Cancer is a global disease awareness initiative funded by Ipsen aiming to raise awareness of the reality of people’s experiences living with kidney cancer and the importance of shared decision making to inform better care outcomes.
Different people have different preferences and priorities when it comes to making decisions about their treatment and how it might impact their lives. Shared decision making helps people living with kidney cancer work with their healthcare providers to find a treatment plan that meets with their individual needs and preferences.
To address the need for greater uptake of shared decision making in practice, the Together for Kidney Cancer Action Plan was co-created with a select group of healthcare professionals, patient advocates, patients and carers within the kidney cancer community from around the world. It includes tangible actions that can be taken forward by members of the community, to support widespread adoption of shared decision making for the benefit of patients and healthcare systems.
From resources that help equip those living with kidney cancer to build confidence and participate in shared decision making, to training and healthcare infrastructure initiatives, there is something that everyone can do to pave the way for shared decision making for all those who want it.
