Literature review reveals modifiable lifestyle factors drive kidney cancer risk in global populations, highlighting weight management and smoking cessation as vital prevention strategies.

Key Points

To evaluate recent clinical evidence regarding lifestyle, pharmaceutical, and nutritional risk factors for kidney cancer, along with the effectiveness of targeted prevention strategies.
Conducted a targeted literature search focused on risk determinants and cancer prevention strategies published within the last 5 years.
Identified and synthesized findings from 76 recent studies evaluating lifestyle, nutrition, and pharmacological factors.
Tobacco smoking, obesity, and hypertension were confirmed as established independent risk factors for kidney cancer, with certain analgesics and processed meat linked to elevated renal cell carcinoma risk.
Consumption of fruits, fiber-rich vegetables, and coffee, as well as regular physical activity, showed potential protective benefits, although causal relationships remain unproven.
Moderate alcohol consumption demonstrated an inverse association with kidney cancer development, while maintaining a healthy body weight and avoiding smoking remain the most robust preventive measures.
