What is the chance of kidney cancer being inherited?

Kidney cancer is one of the most common tumors. It is a malignant tumor that occurs in the male prostate tissue. It is the result of abnormal and disordered growth of prostate acinar cells. If there is a history of kidney cancer in the family, the patient's family members must pay great attention to it and do regular examinations to keep track of their health status in a timely manner. A large amount of clinical research data confirms that when a direct male relative in the family suffers from kidney cancer, the incidence of kidney cancer in the family will increase significantly.

Direct male relatives generally refer to fathers and brothers. If one of the direct relatives has kidney cancer, the probability of developing kidney cancer will be 1 times higher than the general population; if there are two, it will be 3 times higher. This shows that the occurrence of kidney cancer may be related to one or a group of genes in the body, but these genes have not yet been fully identified by scientists.
Although there is no clear conclusion as to whether kidney cancer is hereditary, if there is a history of kidney cancer in your family, you must pay close attention to it and have regular check-ups to keep track of your physical health.
