Genetic Susceptibility to Kidney Cancer
- Conditions
- Renal Cell Carcinoma
- Registration Number
- NCT00854022
- Lead Sponsor
- Baylor College of Medicine
- Brief Summary
This study will further the understanding of the genetic events leading to the development of RCC.
- 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.
