International cancer seminars: a focus on kidney cancer

Abstract: Recent years have seen important advances in our understanding of the etiology, biology and genetics of kidney cancer. To summarize important achievements and identify prominent research questions that remain, a workshop was organized by IARC and the US NCI. A series of 'difficult questions' were formulated, which should be given future priority in the areas of population, genomic and clinical research.

“…Patient and carer involvement throughout this work was critical. Indeed, our work identified different RGs to a previous RCC initiative not directly involving patients, which placed greater emphasis on understanding tumour biology, genomic and epigenetic factors and epidemiology (10). Conversely, initiatives in which patient participation was central, uncovered RGs across similar overarching themes highlighted by our work, including early detection, personalised patient management and follow up (11).…”

“…EU Focus represents the most contemporary and systematic priority setting initiative in RCC to date, focusing on a European setting (9)(10)(11). Although the majority of participants represent a UK and European setting, a Canadian project published in European Urology identified overlapping research priorities suggesting these may be common to all Western settings (11).…”

“…11 Enhanced molecular characterization has led to a better understanding of the complexity of the disease, with six new codes approved by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)/World Health Organization (WHO) Committee for International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) included in the new WHO Classification of the Tumours of the Urinary System and Male Genital Organs 12 ; yet many research questions still remain difficult to answer: including specific factors explaining geographical, ethnic and sex differences, the biological pathways underlying the association with known risk factors; and the critical data required to understand genomic and epigenetic changes. 13 In a previous study, we reported increasing kidney cancer incidence trends from 33 of 43 analyzed populations worldwide, the report pointing to both global increases in obesity and an increasing use of imaging with incidental diagnosis as possible explanatory factors. 5 Using incidence data covering years 1978-2007, the aim of this study is to elucidate the reasons for the increasing kidney cancer incidence by investigating the role of birth cohort (a surrogate for increased exposures to environmental risk factors, such as obesity, operating in successive generations) and period-specific effects (commonly a proxy for changes in diagnostic practices or disease classification).…”

“…Three histological subtypes: clear cell (ccRCC), papillary (pRCC), and chromophobe (chRCC) account for 85-90% of all RCC cases [1]. The incidence of RCC is constantly increasing in North America and Europe [2] with the exception of Finland and Estonia where it has been stable [3]. The majority of cases (80%) occur after the age of 40 years, and the incidence rate is higher among men compared with women (3 : 2) [4].…”
