Overview
Classification
Recent genetic studies have altered the approaches used in classifying renal cell carcinoma. The following system can be used to classify these tumors:[1][2][3]
- Clear cell carcinoma (VHL and others on chromosome 3)
- Papillary carcinoma (MET, PRCC)
- Chromophobe renal carcinoma
- Collecting duct carcinoma
