Resumen
ANGLADA CURADO, Francisco J. et al. New epidemiologic patterns and risk factors in renal cancer. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2009, vol.33, n.5, pp.459-467. ISSN 0210-4806.
Incidence of renal carcinoma, one of the most fatal solid neoplasms, has steadily increased in Western society. Moreover, these tumors are being increasingly detected in their early stages. As with most cancers, the underlying causes of the disease remain unknown. However, understanding of pathogenesis of this tumor is rapidly advancing, and will allow for new treatments for advanced disease. Understanding of the influence of easily avoidable risk factors may allow for prevention of thousands of deaths caused by renal cancer.
