Kidney Cancer Genetics

Having certain hereditary syndromes can increase a person’s risk of kidney cancer. Hereditary kidney cancer accounts for only five to eight percent of all kidney cancers, making it rare. There are four types of hereditary kidney cancer syndromes, and at Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center we treat them all. We’re passionate about screening for these hereditary kidney cancers and many other cancer types at our NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center.
