This handbook was a joint effort between several Canadian healthcare professionals, KCC and Pfizer Canada. It was developed for people whose lives have been touched by kidney cancer and is designed to be as practical and informative as possible. Kidney cancer patients and their families will find information and tips that will take them from diagnosis to post treatment. The book also contains a removable calendar to help keep track of everyday commitments.

The Handbook is a comprehensive tool which covers the following:

•          Overview of Kidney Cancer

•          Getting to Know your Healthcare Team
