Ninety percent or more of kidney cancers are believed to be of epithelial cell origin, and are referred to as renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which are further subdivided based on histology into clear-cell RCC (75%), papillary RCC (15%), chromophobe tumor (5%), and oncocytoma (5%). Some genes confer an increased risk of these various histologic RCC subtypes. In practice, there is some overlap among the histologic subtypes, and there are some shared molecular features among these tumor types. This review focuses primarily on the most common form of RCC, clear-cell renal carcinoma, noting some recent advances in the other histologic subtypes.
据信，超过 90%的肾癌来源于上皮细胞，被称为肾细胞癌（RCC），根据组织学进一步细分为透明细胞 RCC（75%）、乳头状 RCC（15%）、嫌色细胞肿瘤（5%）和嗜酸细胞瘤（5%）。一些基因会增加这些不同组织学 RCC 亚型的风险。实际上，组织学亚型之间存在一些重叠，这些肿瘤类型之间也存在一些共同的分子特征。本综述主要关注最常见的 RCC 形式，即透明细胞肾细胞癌，并注意到其他组织学亚型的一些最新进展。
