Common Malignancies of the Genitourinary System
Author(s): Gareth Griffiths*
Renal cell carcinoma also known as kidney cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the genitourinary system. While early-stage
RCC can often be successfully treated, advanced cases pose a significant clinical challenge due to their propensity for metastasis. Metastasis
is the process by which cancer cells spread from the primary tumor site to distant organs and tissues. In the context of RCC, understanding the
mechanisms and factors that drive metastasis is crucial for improving patient outcomes and developing targeted therapies. This article delves into
the intricacies of metastasis in renal cell carcinoma, exploring its molecular basis, clinical implications, and current treatment strategies. Renal cell
carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm that originates in the renal tubular epithelium. It accounts for approximately 2-3% of all adult malignancies,
