Research can feel overwhelming — new terms, new studies, new headlines every day. But understanding how research works helps families ask stronger questions, communicate more confidently, and make more informed decisions for themselves and their children.

As part of the Wilms Tumor Virtual Forum hosted a few weeks ago by Elevate and the Kidney Cancer Association, the session “How To Find Reliable Info” with Nikki Lyons and Robyn Spoon is now available on YouTube.

This conversation explores how to:
• Find trustworthy information
• Understand research and clinical studies
• Ask better questions
• Advocate on both a personal and systems level

Whether you are navigating childhood cancer treatment, survivorship, advocacy, or simply trying to better understand medical information, this session offers valuable insights for families and communities across pediatric cancer and beyond.

Advocacy happens on both a large and small scale — from influencing research and systems change to asking better questions for yourself or your child during treatment and beyond.

Next week on Elevate’s YouTube channel, Nikki Lyons and Elevate's very own Robyn Spoon will share practical guidance on how to find reliable information, better understand research, and communicate more confidently with care teams. Don't miss this valuable expert session coming out of the Wilms Tumor Virtual Forum that is for ALL pediatric cancer families.
