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.
NEW ANZUP website
ANZUP has a NEW website and it can be accessed using the same address: www.anzup.org.au
The website provides all the information and resources you have come to know – but has been refreshed and revamped to provide an improved user experience.
If you would like to join ‘Friends of ANZUP’– remember this is free – just select the ‘Join ANZUP’ button.
You can still find information about all our research studies and clinical trials, newsletters and other publications, research papers, patient support materials and resources, upcoming events, and most importantly ways in which you can support ANZUP.
