Family history and risk of renal cell carcinoma: A national multi-register case-control study

Last Updated: Friday, October 27, 2023

This study looked at nearly 1,000 RCC cases in Sweden to see if there was an association between a family history of RCC and RCC, overall and by sex and age groups. It was concluded that having 1 or more first-degree relatives with RCC approximately doubles the risk of RCC, with a higher risk increase for women than for men.
