 This week, members of the Kidney Cancer Association are attending and exhibiting at an important cancer meeting taking place in San Diego, California. The Conquer Cancer Foundation of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, or ASCO, has announced the first-ever recipients of its Quality Care Symposium Merit Awards. This year's recipients will be recognized at ASCO's inaugural Quality Care Symposium that goes on through December 1st. The ASCO Merit Awards are designed to promote clinical cancer research by young investigators, a category that's extremely important to the Kidney Cancer Association. This provides them with the opportunity to present their research at the Quality Care Symposium. It brings together researchers, patient advocates, health system administrators, and practicing physicians to share results in measuring and improving the quality of cancer care. These recipients are selected based on the scientific merit of their abstracts, and they receive funding to help with travel expenses to attend the meeting.
