Dear Colleagues at #ASCO26 A pleasure to present Ms. Dena Battle🇺🇸 of @kcCURE who presented at #IKCSEU26 "Provider Perceptions of Cure in Renal Cell Cancer" RCC specialists demonstrate notable hesitancy in using the term “cure,” even in clinical contexts where long-term outcomes may justify it. This reluctance reflects not only clinical uncertainty but also parallels similar reservations among patients. The absence of a standardized definition contributes to inconsistent communication, potentially affecting expectations and decision-making. Establishing clearer, consensus-driven terminology around “cure” in RCC could enhance transparency, improve physician–patient alignment, and support more informed shared decision-making. Addressing this linguistic and conceptual gap may ultimately strengthen trust and facilitate more meaningful discussions about prognosis and treatment goals in renal cell carcinoma care. #KidneyCancer @KidneyCancer Jean-Christophe Bernhard @univbordeaux @AlbigesL @gustaveroussy @TiansterZhang @Dr_SabyGeorge @ZakhariaYousef @ERPlimackMD @Ric_Campi @DrIacovelli @RebuzziSara @weoncologists @GEVaughan1 @salvolarosa @DrYukselUrun #KidneyCancer @daniyal_jafree @EJonasch @IKCCorg @sophiemerrick1 @BarbaraJereczek @ESTRO_RT @ZakhariaYousef @kuraoncology @Selcuk__Erdem @drulkav @RCCadvocate
