Overview

NCI Definition: Also known as collecting duct carcinoma, this is a rare type of renal carcinoma. It arises from the collecting ducts of the renal medulla, and most authors suggest that this is an aggressive tumor. [1]

Collecting duct carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in NF2, CDKN2A, FBXW7, CDKN2B, and SMARCB1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Collecting Duct Carcinoma

NF2fs, FBXW7 Mutation, CDKN2B Loss, CDKN2A Loss, and SETD2 Mutation are the most common alterations in collecting duct carcinoma [2].
