Hillcrest Foundation supports ANZUP’s Kidney Cancer Project ANZUP is extremely grateful to the Hillcrest Foundation for providing $70,000 and to the Ken and Asle Chilton Trust for the discretionary funding of $4,800, which will be used to fund important translational research as part of ANZUP’s kidney cancer UNISoN Trial. With their support, ANZUP will be able to look further into the tumour tissue samples and blood tests from the people who were on the UNISoN kidney cancer clinical trial. From this, they will be able to learn if we can predict which people are most likely to benefit from certain treatments and who will need one drug and who will
benefit from two. The outcome, is to learn if we can predict which people are most likely to benefit from the single treatment or combined treatment, providing a more targeted approach to treatment for people with kidney cancer. This will enable a clearer treatment path, which we hope will reduce uncertainty and anxiety. Through this partnership and support, ANZUP can make a real difference to improving treatment and outcomes for people with kidney cancer and future generations.
