In this NEW Elevate Childhood Cancer Research & Advocacy webinar, Understanding the Genetic Puzzle of Wilms Tumor, Joyce Turner, Genetic Director of the Cancer Genetics Program at Children’s National in D.C. provides invaluable insight into what genetic testing really is, whether it’s happening at your hospital after a Wilms tumor diagnosis, and how all caregivers can ensure that children remain at the center of their care.

    Members of our Elevate Wilms workgroup including Miriam Weiss, MD, a retired physician, nephrologist, and grandmother to a Wilms tumor survivor, Courtney Comer, MTS, BSN, RN, mother to a 2x pediatric cancer survivor and rare disease patient came together with Joyce to ask thoughtful questions, leading to an incredible discussion on why understanding both your child’s and the tumor’s genetic makeup is so important. Erin Abbott, mother to Elevate kid Wyatt, a Stage IV Wilms survivor and Robyn Spoon, Elevate CEO & Founder also join the conversation to break it all down into clear, actionable information that can help families and advocates at every stage.

    This is a must-watch—not just for those facing Wilms tumor and other renal tumors but for anyone navigating childhood cancer.
