Genetic Susceptibility to Kidney Cancer

Baylor College of Medicine6 enrolled

Overview

This study will further the understanding of the genetic events leading to the development of RCC.

This study will further the understanding of the genetic events leading to the development of RCC; explore the genetic basis for genetic instability and how it affects cancer risk; and eventually provide a means of identifying a subgroup of individuals who are most likely to develop RCC. Such individuals may then be targeted for intervention programs such as chemoprevention or dietary modification.
