==Overview==
'''Renal cell carcinoma''' is the most common form of '''kidney cancer''' arising from the [[renal tubule]]. It is the most common type of [[kidney]] [[cancer]] in adults. It affects men more often than women, usually between the ages of 50-70.

==Epidemiology==
Renal cell carcinoma affects about seven in 10,000 people (70/100,000), resulting in about 50,000 new cases in the United States per year. Every year, about 12,000 people in the US die from renal cell carcinoma.

Epidemiology

Renal cell carcinomas is considered the 7 most common cancer in men and the ninth most common cancer in women. It account for approximately 2-3% of all malignant tumors in the adult population.[1] More than 70% of renal cell carcinomas are clear cell carcinomas. Papillary carcinomas are the second most common renal cell carcinomas. The least common types of renal cell carcinomas are collecting-duct renal cell carcinomas, accounting for less than 1% of all cases.[2] Most cases of renal cell carcinoma are sporadic; whereas only approximately 2-3% of all cases are familial, most of which have an autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance.[1]


The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[1] The ratio increases dramatically increases in sporadic cases of papillary renal cell carcinomas, reaching a 5 to 1 ratio.[2] The median age of presentation is typically 60 years. Presentation might range from a much more common asymptomatic course (incidental finding) to a less likely local or paraneoplastic/systemic presentation.[1]
