 Hi, I'm Bill Brough with Kidney Cancer News asking, will you take the Kidney Cancer Fitness Challenge? Did you know that exercise can play a key role in your recovery from cancer? Well it can! And when you commit to the Kidney Cancer Association's fitness challenge, you'll not only contribute to your well-being, but you'll help to raise awareness of kidney cancer and the need for a cure. Simply commit to an ongoing program of healthy physical activity between now and June 30th. You'll find details in the press room section of our homepage at kidneycancer.org. Kidney cancer survival rates have shown a significant rise in spite of a rising incidence of the disease. That's according to a new report by Public Health England's National Cancer Intelligence Network. The report looked at trends in survival in kidney cancer in England from 1990 to 2010 and found that people diagnosed with the main type of kidney cancer, renal cell carcinoma, have seen an overall improvement in survival. For others, there has been no significant change. 3D printed kidneys could become a standard for simulated kidney cancer surgery. Much-hyped 3D printing technology is beginning to make its mark in clinical and surgical fields. Kobe University's surgeons who presented their work at the European Association of Urology Congress were not looking to create replacement kidneys. Rather, they're using 3D printing to produce exact scale models of the affected kidneys in patients who have kidney cancer. This will be used for training. Urologists continue to push the limits of minimally invasive surgery. Key papers presented at the AUA annual meeting explored the functional and cancer control outcomes associated with minimally invasive and robotic procedures in both prostate cancer and renal cell carcinoma. When to use such approaches remains as a source of controversy. According to Stuart J. Wolfe Jr. MD, professor of urology at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, and I quote, urologists continue to struggle to find the right place for surgical robots in our practice. And that's kidney cancer news for April. Be sure to look for us on social media, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other media.
