Abstract

In 1999, 30,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with cancers of the kidney and renal pelvis (1). Although most cases are sporadic, populations at increased risk for developing renal cell carcinoma (RCC) include those with familial syndromes such as hereditary clear cell renal carcinoma, hereditary papillary renal carcinoma, and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome, as well as patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, tuberous sclerosis, and end-stage renal disease who develop acquired cystic disease of the kidney (2).
