Epidemiology
Renal cell carcinomas is considered the 7 most common cancer in men and the ninth most common cancer in women. It account for approximately 2-3% of all malignant tumors in the adult population.[1] More than 70% of renal cell carcinomas are clear cell carcinomas. Papillary carcinomas are the second most common renal cell carcinomas. The least common types of renal cell carcinomas are collecting-duct renal cell carcinomas, accounting for less than 1% of all cases.[2] Most cases of renal cell carcinoma are sporadic; whereas only approximately 2-3% of all cases are familial, most of which have an autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance.[1]
The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[1] The ratio increases dramatically increases in sporadic cases of papillary renal cell carcinomas, reaching a 5 to 1 ratio.[2] The median age of presentation is typically 60 years. Presentation might range from a much more common asymptomatic course (incidental finding) to a less likely local or paraneoplastic/systemic presentation.[1]
