ICD-11 code : 2C90;
Preferred Label : Malignant neoplasms of kidney, except renal pelvis;
ICD-11 definition : Cancer of the kidney amounts to 2% of the total human cancer burden, with approximately
190,000 new cases diagnosed each year. They occur in all world regions, with a preference
for developed countries. Etiological factors include environmental carcinogens (tobacco
smoking) and lifestyle factors, in particular obesity. Although renal tumours can
be completely removed surgically, haematogeneous metastasis is frequent and may occur
already at an early stage of the disease. The pattern of somatic mutations in kidney
tumours has been extensively investigated and has become, in addition to histopathology,
a major criterion for classification. Kidney tumours also occur in the setting of
several inherited cancer syndromes, including von Hippel-Lindau disease.;
