Preface
The clinical care of the patient with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has become
increasingly complex. The incidence of RCC is increasing, in part, because of
the wide use of modern imaging studies and, in part, because of the epidemic
of obesity and dietary changes. Patients with RCC who have small renal
masses have a spectrum of therapeutic options, ranging from active surveil-
lance to high-energy ablation to nephron-sparing nephrectomy. For patients
who present with locally advanced or metastatic disease, a multidisciplinary
approach is essential for optimal management. Surgeons and medical oncolo-
gists are called upon to work as a team to incorporate systemic therapy and
nephrectomy or metastasectomy. The optimal management of patients with
RCC also requires the expertise of physicians from other disciplines includ-
ing pathology, radiology, radiation oncology, pain management, and support-
ive care, as well as internal medicine and surgical subspecialties. Integrative
oncology, which incorporates complementary and alternative medicine
approaches, is emerging as a discipline to address the needs of patients with
vii
cancer who now use complementary medicines.
Insights into the biology of RCC, much gleaned from studies of inherited
RCC syndromes, have led to the approval of seven molecularly targeted
agents by the US Food and Drug Administration since December 2005, and
more agents are on the horizon. The elucidation of von Hippel–Lindau gene
dysregulation in clear-cell RCC and its impact on downstream targets, particu-
larly the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway, have established
anti-VEGF agents as bona fide therapies in metastatic clear-cell RCC. Agents
that block the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway have also benefited
patients with metastatic RCC. While more effective than interferon-alpha and
less toxic than high-dose interleukin (IL)-2, targeted agents produce acute and
chronic adverse events that may be challenging for long-term use. Although it
has a formidable acute toxicity, high-dose IL-2 remains an option for a select
few patients with metastatic clear-cell RCC and yields a 5% cure rate.
Despite the scientific progress made so far, which has led to improved
progression-free survival and overall survival rates, the majority of patients
with metastatic RCC will ultimately develop progressive disease and suc-
cumb to their cancer. Thus, research efforts are urgently needed to identify
mechanisms of resistance to targeted agents and biomarkers of anti-tumor
response and toxicity associated with these therapies. A concerted research
effort is also needed to focus on discovery of relevant targets in RCC of vari-
ant histologies with suboptimal response to targeted agents.
Today, the science of oncology is witnessing a revolution in the way we
think of cancer. Genomic medicine has ushered in a new era to tackle the can-
cer problem that cuts across traditional anatomic boundaries. Cancer immu-
notherapy is undergoing a renaissance with the development of immune
Preface checkpoint blockade therapies that unleash the full power of the immune sys-
tem to attack cancer cells, regardless of their cell of origin or molecular type.
The intersection of genomic medicine and immunotherapy will undoubtedly
accelerate the pace of discovery toward the development of more effective
treatments for “polygenic” cancers that have traditionally been resistant to
chemotherapy and radiation.
The future of oncology has arrived. In this context, we present this book
on RCC, a timely addition to the Oxford American Oncology Library.
Our hope is that this concise book will bring to busy clinicians and train-
ees interested in RCC the knowledge and experience of leaders in the
field who contributed to this book. Ultimately, our hope is for a future free
of cancer.

Chapter
Introduction
The incidence rates of kidney cancer vary considerably worldwide, with
much higher rates in North America, Europe, and Oceania than in Asia,
South America, and Africa (Figure .). In the United States, kidney cancer
is the sixth most common cancer in men and the eighth most common in
women, with an estimated 65,50 new cases and 3,680 deaths in 203.2
1
The age-adjusted incidence rate in men (20.7 per 00,000 person-years) is
nearly twice as high as in women (0.5 per 00,000 person-years). Likewise,
the mortality rate for men (5.8 per 00,000 person-years) is double that of
women (2.6 per 00,000 person-years).3 The incidence rates of kidney can-
cer have steadily increased at more than 2% per year during the past three
decades (Figure .).3 The rise in incidence has been more rapid in blacks than
in whites. In contrast, mortality rates have been virtually identical for both
blacks and whites since the early 990s,4 raising the possibility that the excess
in kidney cancer incidence among black occurred largely in early-stage tumors
with improved prognosis.
The etiology of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) differs from that of other kid-
ney cancers. The remainder of this chapter focuses on RCC.
Several risk factors have been established for RCC, including obesity/being
overweight, cigarette smoking, and hypertension. A few RCC susceptibility
loci have been identified through recent genome-wide association studies
(GWASs) of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A number
of intermediate phenotypic biomarkers in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs)
have also been linked to RCC risk. In this chapter, we review the current state
of knowledge on the epidemiology of RCC.

reported a 50% increase in RCC risk among male smokers and a 20% increase
in risk among female smokers. RCC risk decreased by 5%–30% in both men
and women who stopped smoking for more than 0 years.5 Since the over-
all prevalence of cigarette smoking has declined for several decades in the
United States, smoking is unlikely to be a major contributor to the rising RCC
Chapter
Obesity
In the United States about 40% of RCCs are estimated to be attributable
to being overweight or obese.4 Meta-analyses of prospective cohort studies
showed that each 5-unit increase in body mass index (BMI) contributed an
approximate 25%–35% increase in risk of RCC for men and women.8 Weight
3
gain during adulthood could be another risk factor for RCC independent of
BMI per se, as reported in previous observational studies.6 However, this
association is still inconclusive due to conflicting results and confounding from
obesity. Likewise, the effects of other related factors, such as weight cycling
and waist–hip ratio, are also difficult to disentangle.
The potential mechanisms that underlie the association between obesity
and RCC include altered production of circulating adipokines, insulin and
insulin resistance, chronic tissue hypoxia, altered level of sex steroids, and
lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. Low levels of adiponectin have been
associated with increased risks of RCC.9 Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resis-
tance have long been proposed as major mechanisms for the obesity–cancer
link.0 Chronic tissue hypoxia was supported by the frequent upregulation of
hypoxia-inducible factor -α (HIF-α) in RCC tumors.
Physical Activity
Physical activity has been associated with reduced RCC risks in a number of
observational studies.6 A cohort study showed that individuals who engaged
in physical activity more than five times per week had a 20% reduction in
RCC risk. Two other cohort studies reported similar but statistically nonsig-
nificant associations.2,3 However, other cohort and case-control studies had
null results.6,4 The lack of consistent data may be partially attributed to the
differences in measures of physical activity in the different studies, including
leisure time physical activity during the past year, frequency of physical activity
during a certain period, hours spent on physical activity per day or per week,
and metabolic equivalent task values. Possible biological mechanisms for the
beneficial effect of physical activity on RCC include reduced body weight/
Epidemiology of Renal Cell Carcinoma BMI, improved insulin sensitivity, lowered blood pressure, and improved pro-
file of inflammation and oxidative stress.
Diet and Alcohol Consumption
On average, one third of cancers are estimated to be attributable to diet and
nutrition.5 Daily diet is an important determinant of the amount of energy
intake and is closely related to obesity. While dietary calorie intake may be
associated with RCC risk, the effect is difficult to disentangle from BMI due to
their tight correlation.
High fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with a >30% reduc-
tion of RCC risk in a pooled analysis of 3 cohort studies.6 Intakes of fat
and protein or their subtypes were not associated with RCC risk after adjust-
ing for BMI, fruit and vegetable intake, and alcohol consumption in the same
pooled analysis of cohort studies.7 The reported associations of antioxidant
nutrients including carotenoids and vitamins A, C, and E are inconsistent.6,8,9

Genetic Susceptibility
Hereditary Kidney Cancer Syndrome
Compelling evidence supports genetic susceptibility to RCC. The risk of RCC
is two to three times higher in individuals who have first-degree relatives with
kidney cancer.26 In addition, familial aggregation is seen in approximately 3%
of kidney cancer patients with inherited kidney cancer syndromes, which are
discussed further in chapter 4.
Candidate Gene Approach
Most of the earlier candidate gene studies involved small numbers of cases
and controls, and very few of the initially reported positive susceptibility
alleles have been replicated in subsequent validation studies.27 With regard to
RCC, candidate gene studies have reported many positive associations with
Chapter
SNP has also been identified as being associated with waist–hip ratio in
another GWAS.30 It is possible that obesity is the intermediate between the
association of this locus and RCC. The third locus on q3.3 is mapped
to an intergenic region with unknown biological function. Future pooled
analysis of GWAS data will undoubtedly identify additional common RCC
susceptibility SNPs.

Intermediate Phenotypic Assays for Renal Cell
Carcinoma Susceptibility
Intermediate phenotypic biomarkers have the advantage of measuring the
summary results of genetic variations and could potentially have larger effect
size than individual SNPs. The suboptimal DNA damage/repair capacity in
PBLs that were challenged with different mutagens has been shown to be asso-
ciated with increased risks of RCC.3–33 Shorter telomere in PBLs was associ-
ated with an increased risk of RCC.34,35 Lower mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
copy number in PBLs conferred an increased risk of RCC.36 Prospective studies
are needed to confirm these results from retrospective case-control studies.
