Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (UTUC) Awareness Day raises awareness of this rare cancer of the kidney and ureter lining and highlights the urgent need for better, kidney-sparing treatment options. UTUC often involves activating FGFR3 alterations; current care can include endoscopic tumor ablation or nephroureterectomy, which may cause long-term health impacts. Established by Tyra Biosciences in collaboration with the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network, the day amplifies patient experiences and supports research and innovation to improve outcomes for people living with UTUC.
