Renal Medullary Carcinoma (RMC) is an insidious cancer that effects all ages from as young as 5. Around 80% of cases are associated with sickle cell trait, where the sickle cells block paths to the kidney causing inflammation that can later trigger cancer. Hispanic and African ethnicity are particualalry vulnerable. Dehydration is often a factor making many young athletes susceptible.
After 6+ years, AnCan regrets it no longer supports RMC. For more information on available support please contact The Chris “CJ” Johnson RMC Foundation
In Great Britain and Europe please reach out to The Ricky Casey Trust and their Founder, Nicola Forshaw Casey via their website and their Facebook page.
