The Kidney Cancer Association is a global non-profit organization dedicated to supporting people affected by kidney cancer—patients, caregivers, and families—through advocacy, research, and education. It promotes scientific advancement by funding research through a grant program and staging two annual research symposia, while also engaging in legislative advocacy and providing educational resources. The group originated in Chicago in 1990, founded by Eugene P. Schonfeld and a small cohort of patients and physicians, and is currently based in Houston, Texas. In 2026, the association formed a partnership with Komodo Health to analyze kidney cancer patterns across ten major U.S. metropolitan areas, illustrating collaborative work with external organizations. The organization also participates in international conferences and events, including plans to attend the 2026 International Kidney Cancer Symposium: Europe in Paris.
