BACKGROUND Several case-control studies and cohort studies have investigated the association between fish intake and renal cancer risk, however, they yielded conflicting results. To our knowledge, a comprehensive assessment of the association between fish consumption and risk of renal cancer has not been reported. Hence, we conducted a systematic literature search and meta-analysis to quantify ...

Renal cell cancer rarely metastasizes to the thyroid gland, and it has been reported to present as a solitary mass. We present a case of diffuse thyroid cancer metastases from renal cell cancer. Bilateral internal jugular vein tumor thrombi were also present. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of diffuse thyroid metastases from renal cell cancer in the English literatur...

OBJECTIVE To study current epidemiological and clinical features of adult renal cancer in Senegal and the evolution of these features over the two past decades. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective ten years study (2000-2009) that analyzed all the renal cell cancer in adult admitted in the urology department and the pathology department of the university teaching hospital Aristid...

Incidence rates of renal cell cancer, which accounts for 85% of kidney cancers, have been rising in the United States and in most European countries for several decades. Family history is associated with a two- to four-fold increase in risk, but the major forms of inherited predisposition together account for less than 4% of renal cell cancers. Cigarette smoking, obesity, and hypertension are t...

Cancer risk in maintenance hemodialysis patients has been studied epidemiology, which might be influenced by various factors. On the contrary, investigation of cancer-bearing in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients has been rarely reported. Recently, we revealed relatively frequent past history of both colorectal cancer and renal cell carcinoma ahead of dialysis introduction and prevale...

Renal cell carcinoma is one of the most common malignant neoplasms genitourinary system. Along with smoking and hereditary syndromes associated mutations in Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene, obesity main risk factors for development renal carcinoma. Emerging data indicate a causal relationship between In large study within framework Metabolic Syndrome Cancer project, clinical on blood pressure, bod...

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour (IMT) or ‘pseudotumour’ of the kidney is a uncommon benign tumour, common in young adults with unknown etiology. Clinical feature and radiological investigations are usually inconclusive. Often, biopsy inconclusive required management similar to that Renal Cell Cancer (RCC). Diagnosis based on immunohistochemistry. We reporting case IMT 32-year-old female pat...

OBJECTIVE We investigated malignancy risk after renal transplantation in patients with and without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS Using the United States Renal Data System from 2001 to 2009, 143 652 renal transplant recipients with and without SLE contributed 585 420 patient-years of follow-up to determine incident cancers using Medicare claims codes. We calculated standardised i...
