Renal cell carcinoma
Article Abstract:
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a major cause of neoplasms arising from the kidney and the disease often does not show any symptoms, but it can have paraneoplastic manifestations and also resists radiation or chemotherapy. Newer therapies are being discovered due to better understanding of genetic factors that influence the development and growth of RCC.
