Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) consists of a group of heterogeneous cancer originating from renal tubular cells. Among the urological cancers, RCC, the third most common cause of death after prostate and bladder cancer, accounts for about 2% of all adult cancer cases. In addition, the clinical course of urological cancers is the most mortal. The incidence of RCC is geographically different in developed countries, especially in males. Although it is not known exactly why men are more prevalent in developed countries, genetic factors may be associated with environmental factors such as smoking and working conditions.
