The European Association of Urology is hosting Urology Week from 28 September – 2 October 2026 and this year we focus on one of the less talked-about cancers, Kidney cancer.
Although Kidney cancer might be known as the silent cancer, it can have serious consequences. It often develops without obvious symptoms, and as a consequence diagnosis an advanced stage. This limits the treatment options and survival rates significantly. As the global population continues to age, the burden of kidney cancer is expected to grow.
By raising awareness of the possible signs and symptoms and understanding risk factors, this year’s Urology Week aims to turn the tide and encourage the general audience to take an active role in protecting their kidney health and to learn more about the disease that too often goes unnoticed.
We welcome our global community to contribute to Urology Week 2026! Whether you represent a national society, patient organisation, hospital, university, or support a relative with kidney cancer, everyone can help increase awareness around the disease!
However you choose to support Urology Week, every action counts!
