Patient Outreach, Engagement, Advocacy, and Support

The Kidney Cancer Association (KCA) is a charitable organization made up of patients, family members, physicians, researchers, and other health professionals. We fund, promote, and collaborate with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO), American Urologic Association (AUA), and other institutions on research projects. They educate families and physicians, and serve as an advocate on behalf of patients at the state and federal levels.

The Kidney Cancer Association was founded in 1990 by a small group of patients, including Eugene P. Schonfeld, Ph.D., and medical doctors in Chicago, Illinois. It is a nonprofit charity incorporated in the State of Illinois. It has also been designated as a tax exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service code. Donations to the Association are tax deductible.

The Kidney Cancer Association is a member of, and is certified by, the National Health Council as an organization in full compliance with the Standards of Excellence for voluntary health agencies.

The Kidney Cancer Association is developing a global presence and is creating websites in several languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, Italian and other languages. New patient support groups are planned for the European Union, Asia and Australia in 2007.

Advertising Policy

Our advertising policy is consistent with the principles mentioned in the Recommendations on Publication Ethics Policies for Medical Journals which issued by the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME).

http://www.wame.org/recommendations-on-publication-ethics-policie

<
  1. All advertisements and commercially sponsored publications are independent from editorial decisions. Kidney Cancer Journal does not endorse any product or service marked as an advertisement or promoted by a sponsor in Kidney Cancer Journal publications. Editorial content is not compromised by commercial or financial interests, or by any specific arrangements with advertising clients or sponsors.
  2. Kidney Cancer Journal reserves the right to decline any type of advertising that is damaging to the brand of Kidney Cancer Journal or is inappropriate to the content held on the Kidney Cancer Journal 
  3. Advertisements may not be deceptive or misleading, and must be verifiable. Advertisements should clearly identify the advertiser and the product or service being offered. Exaggerated or extravagantly worded copy will not be allowed. Advertisements will not be accepted if they appear to be indecent or offensive in either text or artwork, or if they relate to content of a personal, racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, or religious nature.

  4. Advertising for the following categories is prohibited:

    • Alcohol
    • Tobacco
    • Weapons, firearms, ammunition
    • Fireworks
    • Gambling and lottery
    • Pornography or related themes
    • Political and religious advertisements
    • Advertisements that claim to have a “miracle” cure or method
    • Advertisements that make unsubstantiated health claims for the products advertised
    • Advertisements directed at children
  5. Once an advertisement has been deployed online, it will be withdrawn from the journal site at any time if the Editor(s)-in-Chief or Publisher request its removal.
  6. Kidney Cancer Journal will not allow any treatment-specific or drug-specific campaign to be targeted to a specific article(s) or on any page where content relates to the product(s) being advertised. (Advertisers may not link to articles using keywords; they may not target advertising for a specific product on the condition that it appear in the same location and at the same time as a specific article mentioning that product and they may not refer to an article published at the same time as the advertisement appears).
  7. All advertisements for drug-specific campaigns must comply with the relevant US and Euorpean legislation that regulates advertising. Advertisers should make available to Kidney Cancer Journal the marketing authorization and summary of product characteristics when submitting their advertisement. In the case of drug advertisements, the full generic name of each active ingredient should appear. Each page of an advertisement for a prescription-only medicine should be clearly labeled as intended for health professionals.
  8. All advertisements for drug specific campaigns should encourage correct and rational use and must not be misleading.
  9. Advertisements and editorial content must be clearly distinguishable. Kidney Cancer Journal will not publish “advertorial” content, and sponsored supplements must be clearly indicated as such. If a supplement did not undergo peer review or underwent a peer review-process different from the rest of the journal that should be explicitly stated.
  10. Editorial decisions will not be influenced by current or potential sponsors and advertisers, and will not be influenced by marketing decisions. Advertisers and sponsors have no control or influence over the results of searches a user may conduct on the website by keyword or search topic.
  11. Advertising complaints policy

    Please send any complaints about advertising to: info@kidney-cancer-journal.com
