Diagnosis and Management of Hereditary Renal Cell Cancer,al type and molecular pathogenesis. Insight into molecular pathogenesis has led to the development of targeted systemic therapies. Genetic susceptibility is the principal cause of RCC in about 2–4 % of cases. Hereditary RCC is the umbrella term for about a dozen different conditions, the most freque

Diagnosis and Management of Hereditary Adrenal Cancer,cy with unfavourable prognosis. Recent advances in the molecular understanding of adrenal cancer offer promise for better therapies in the future. Many of these advances stem from the molecular elucidation of genetic conditions predisposing to the development of ACC. Six main clinical syndromes have

There has been a move away from the use of the term carcinoid tumour to the more appropriate use of neuroendocrine tumour (NET) to highlight the potential for invasion and metastasis associated with some NETs. Although most cases are sporadic, 15–20 % of cases are related to a he
