Preface
Renal Cell Carcinoma: Molecular Features and Treatment Updates provides a comprehensive review of diagnosis and treatments of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to practitioners and researchers with an interest in this disease. This book covers all topics from basic biology and pathology to clinical practice. Clinical topics include etiology, diagnosis, and all treatment options. The book also makes a strong effort to catch up with the key, most up-to-date advances in information about molecular bases and targeted therapy of this neoplasm. RCC therapy is the most advanced field in terms of molecular-targeted therapy. Medical oncologists as well as urologists have begun to be interested in this area. Basic researchers who focus on cancer metabolism, cancer genetics and epigenetics, vascular biology, and cancer immunotherapy may also be interested and inspired by this book. In the past decade, treatment options for renal cell carcinoma have been expanding and moving quickly toward laboratory-based and molecular-targeted therapies. RCC is resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and had been a rare cancer where immunotherapy including interleukin-2 or inter
