摘要
Molecular and cytogenetic techniques have been used extensively to study the genetics of renal epithelial neoplasia. Several genes and chromosomal aberrations have been identified that play important roles in the development and progression of kidney tumors. Each histologic type of renal neoplasm is characterized by specific types of genetic alterations, a finding that can aid in making correct diagnoses in difficult cases. In addition, molecular genetic research in renal cell tumors continues to: (1) assist in our understanding of the nature and causes of tumorigenesis and tumor progression, (2) further the assessment of prognosis, (3) facilitate early detection, (4) lead to advances in therapy, and (5) help guide treatment.
