ALK-Rearranged Renal Cell Carcinoma is a very rare type of kidney cancer. It happens because of a change in a gene called ALK. Genes normally control how our cells grow, but when this gene changes abnormally, kidney cells start growing out of control and form a cancer. This cancer is different from common kidney cancers and needs special tests to be identified.
Many sufferers of ALK-Rearranged Renal Cell Carcinoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as ALK-Rearranged Renal Cell Carcinoma. We have recently created an ALK-Rearranged Renal Cell Carcinoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
