	Kidney Cancer: Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)
		The cause of renal cell carcinoma is unknown, although tobacco and industrial carcinogens have been implicated.
		Green: Symptoms/signs of RCC are generally caused by either invasion of the tumor beyond the confines of the kidney causing pain, hematuria (blood in the urine), or a flank mass.
		RCC with hepatosplenomegaly, elevated alkaline phosphatase and serum haptoglobin, and prolonged prothrombin (bleeding) time is referred to as Staufer's Syndrome.

	Renal cell carcinoma Summary
		Renal cell carcinoma, which occurs in the cells lining the kidneys (epithelial cells), is the most common type of kidney cancer.
		Renal cell carcinoma, also known by a gurnistical tumor, is the most common form of kidney cancer arising from the renal tubule.
		Because these cells accumulate glycogen and lipids, their cytoplasm appear "clear", lipid-laden, the nuclei remain in the middle of the cells, and the cellular membrane is evident.

	ACS :: What Is Kidney Cancer (Renal Cell Carcinoma)?
		Renal cell carcinoma (also known as renal cell cancer or renal cell adenocarcinoma) is by far the most common type of kidney cancer.
		In rare cases, renal cell cancers are labeled as "unclassified" because their appearance doesn't fit into any of the other categories or because there is more than one type of cell present.
		Renal sarcomas are a rare type of kidney cancer (less than 1% of all kidney tumors) that begin in the kidney's connective tissue.

	eMedicine - Renal Cell Carcinoma : Article by Deborah A Baumgarten, MD, MPH
		Staging of RCC, which can be performed by using CT or MRI, includes the assessment of ipsilateral or contralateral adrenal involvement, direct extension into adjacent organs, enlargement of retroperitoneal lymph nodes, invasion of the ipsilateral renal vein (with or without extension into the inferior vena cava), and distant metastatic disease (liver, bone, lungs).
		In patients with renal failure and long-standing dialysis dependence, detection of an RCC (especially the papillary type) is increased when imaging is performed soon after the contrast bolus passes (in the arterial phase).
		In patients with normal renal function, imaging during the arterial or cortical phases may make the lesions less visible because the typical hypoenhancement of the tumors cannot be distinguished from the nonenhancement of the adjacent medulla.

		Also known as hypernephroma or clear cell carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma is the most common tumor rising from the kidney, with about 30,000 cases per year diagnosed in the United States.
		Though not curable by current treatment methods, metastatic renal cell carcinoma can be effectively treated to improve symptoms and survival in a proportion of patients using immunotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery in certain cases.
		Better treatments for renal cell carcinoma, directed at shrinking existing tumors or preventing metastatic tumors from coming back after surgery for the kidney tumor, are being investigated at Ellis Fischel and elsewhere.

	Kidney Cancer - Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)
		RCC is difficult to treat and rarely cured once it has spread beyond the kidney and current therapies have limited efficacy.
		Recent data suggest that clear cell RCC has a slightly worse prognosis as compared to papillary or chromophobe cell RCC, however, the majority of low stage tumors, regardless of its cell type, can be cured with surgical resection.
		Therefore, grading of tumor cells is an important factor in assessing prognosis except in papillary RCC type where grading seems to have a minimal prognostic value.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Spontaneous regression of bone metastasis from renal cell carcinoma; A case report
		Since the first reported case of spontaneous regression of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in 1928 by Bumpus [1], it has been known that renal cell carcinoma can regress spontaneously, although the frequency of the phenomenon was estimated to be less than 1%, and most cases were observed after a resection of the primary tumor.
		The present case of spontaneous regression of metastasis from renal cell carcinoma to the sternum is the first such case to be reported.
		Since Bumpus reported the first case of spontaneous regression of metastatic renal cell carcinoma [1], the incidence of spontaneous regression has been low, and is thought to be less than 1% of all cases [2].

	NGC - NGC Summary
		The traditional treatment for RCC is radical nephrectomy, which involves node dissection and complete removal of the kidney and Gerota's fascia.
		MRI of the abdomen is a suitable substitute for staging renal cancer when the patient cannot undergo contrast-enhanced CT. US may be performed prior to surgery to ascertain the cephalad extent of a previously identified caval tumor thrombus but cannot be relied upon to detect small renal vein or IVC thrombus.
		In patients with history of adverse reaction to contrast media or renal insufficiency, MRI and/or US may be preferred to CT. MRI is superior to US in evaluating adenopathy, determining the organ of origin of the mass, diagnosing intracaval and renal venous thrombus, and demonstrating bone metastases.

		Renal cell carcinoma occurs nearly twice as often in men as in women, an in the United States its incidence is equivalent among whites and fls.
		The exact cause and risk factors for renal cell carcinoma are unknown.
		Rapidly rising incidence of renal cell cancer in the United States may be due in part to increased detection of tumors related to more use of abdominal ultrasound and MRI, but a real increase is suggested by increasing diagnosis of advanced tumors and by a corresponding increase in kidney cancer mortality.
