Molecular-genetic and cytogenetic characteristics of sporadic kidney cancer: literature review

To compile this literature review, we studied at least 100 publications devoted to the genetic basis of clear cell, papillary, and chromophobic sporadic kidney cancer pathogenesis. Each of them considered the role of somatic gene and chromosomal mutations in the initiation, promotion, and tumor progression of sporadic renal cell carcinoma, emphasized the importance of determining the mutagenic profile of renal cell carcinoma for the future fate of patients.
