Genetic Susceptibility to Renal Cell Carcinoma

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

Study Overview

Status

Terminated

Detailed Description

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.
