Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is not currently considered to be a risk factor for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We present data from our institution demonstrating incidence of RCC with ADPKD above the incidence rate for RCC in the general population, as well as that in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The discussion relates our findings in the context of the current literature including recent case reports published in this entity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
