Abstract

The field of renal cell cancer has undergone a significant resurgence. This book summarizes up-to-date research and innovative ideas for the future in this rapidly changing field, which encompasses medicine, surgery, radiation oncology, basic science, pathology, radiology, and supportive care. This book is aimed at the clinician or scientist who has an interest in renal cell cancer, whether they are academic or nonacademic. The book covers tumor biology, molecular biology, surgery techniques, radiation therapy, personal testimonies, and present and future treatments of the disease that are on the horizon. The goal was to produce a textbook that would act as an authoritative source for scientists and clinicians and interpret the field for trainees in surgery, medicine, radiation oncology, and pathology.

Abstract

This volume examines every major topic area in the modern era of renal carcinoma biology and treatment.   The unique and intricate genetics of this cancer are highly distinct from most other tumors, and the advances made in this cancer beyond VHL biology have been intrinsically driven by discoveries from familial renal cell carcinomas linked with newer large scale genomic efforts in sporadic disease.  These genetic findings fuel strategies to analyze and define sporadic tumors for greater accuracy in prognosis and prediction of response to therapy.   Additional topics include major new therapeutic strategies that harness these biological discoveries, in particular angiogenic, energy metabolism, chromatin remodeling, tumor microenvironment, and classical signaling pathways.   This text will bring all of these avenues of investigation together for readers interested in understanding the dynamics of this field in the last decade and anticipating a continued steep trajectory in advancements toward the cure of this disease in its many manifestations.
