Renal cancer refers to several different and specific types of cancer that can affect the kidneys, not constituting a uniform or singular condition. Among all carcinomas in this category, renal cell carcinomas (RCC) account for 80 to 85% of all primary kidney tumors, with clear cell RCC being the most frequent among them. Additionally, it is known that RCC can cause chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as CKD may lead to risk of RCC between 3 and 7 times higher than the general population. Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that among all urological neoplasms, renal cancer has the highest fatality rate, with 40% of patients succumbing to the disease's progression.
