Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A carcinoma arising from the renal parenchyma. There is a strong correlation between cigarette smoking and the development of renal cell carcinoma. The clinical presentation includes : hematuria, flank pain and a palpable lumbar mass. A high percentage of renal cell carcinomas are diagnosed when an ultrasound is performed for other purposes. Radical nephrectomy is the standard intervention procedure. Renal cell carcinoma is generally considered to be resistant to radiation treatment and chemotherapy. [1]

Renal cell carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in VHL, PBRM1, SETD2, BAP1, and TP53 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Renal Cell Carcinoma

VHL Mutation, PBRM1fs, SETD2 Mutation, PBRM1 Mutation, and TP53 Mutation are the most common alterations in renal cell carcinoma [2].
