Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma

Back to Diseases List

Overview

NCI Definition: A type of carcinoma that comprises a minority of renal cell carcinomas. It is characterized by loss of chromosomes 1 and Y. Based on the cytoplasmic characteristics of the neoplastic cells, this type of carcinoma is classified as classic (typical) or eosinophilic. It has a much better prognosis than other renal cell carcinomas. [1]

Chromophobe renal cell carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, PTEN, NOTCH1, SETD2, and RB1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma

TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, PTEN Mutation, and TP53fs are the most common alterations in chromophobe renal cell carcinoma [2].
