Genetics of Renal Tumors
2013
Kidney and urinary tract cancers accounted for a total of 16936 cases and 6764 deaths in 2007 in Japan (Matsuda et al., 2012), which is roughly 2% of all cancers. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer, and is classified into three major subtypes, clear cell RCC, papillary RCC and chromophobe RCC, representing 80, 10, and 5% of all RCCs, and the majority of renal tumors are sporadic although 2-4% are hereditary (Hagenkord et al., 2011).
