Abstract

Renal cell cancer (RCC) is the tenth most common malignancy in Europe and the United States. In 2006, 63,000 new cases were diagnosed in the European Union and 26,000 people died from the disease [1]. However, RCC accounts for only 2–3% of cancers and is therefore relatively uncommon when compared to breast, bowel, and lung cancer [2]. Histologically, several subtypes can be identified, of which clear-cell carcinoma is predominant, representing up to 80% of the cases [3].
