Prevalence[edit | edit source]
The most common renal neoplasm in adults is renal cell carcinoma. RCC accounts for close to 90% of all renal neoplasms and approximately 3% of all cancers. [1]
Renal cancer occurs 1.6 times more in males than females. The incidence is on the rise, with a peak incidence occurring between 60 and 70 years of age. In 2012, 64,770 new cases of renal cell and renal pelvis cancer were reported in the United States. Due to medical management, the death rate has remained steady. In 2012, 13,570 deaths due to renal cell and renal pelvis cancer were reported in the United States.
