We must guard against the causes of kidney cancer as early as possible

At present, the occurrence of kidney cancer will have a certain impact on the patient's life and damage his health. However, people do not pay attention to the causes of kidney cancer, which may cause the disease to continue to harm more people. Therefore, everyone should understand the causes of kidney cancer in order to prevent this disease. Let's take a look at the specific causes of kidney cancer.

Causes of kidney cancer include:

(1) Smoking

A large number of prospective observations have found that smoking is positively correlated with the incidence of kidney cancer. The relative risk factor (RR) of kidney cancer in smokers is 2, and the risk of kidney cancer increases for smokers who have smoked for more than 30 years and smoke unfiltered cigarettes. This is a cause of kidney cancer.

(2) Occupation

There are reports that workers in metal shops, newspaper printers, coke workers, dry cleaners and petrochemical workers have an increased risk of kidney cancer and death. This cause of kidney cancer is relatively common.

(3) Genetics

Some families have kidney cancer, which is discovered during chromosome examination. People with a high incidence of kidney cancer have defects in the third pair of chromosomes. Most familial kidney cancers occur at an early age and tend to be multifocal and bilateral. There is a rare genetic disease, hereditary varicocele (VHP), in which up to 28% to 45% of patients develop kidney cancer. This is also one of the causes of kidney cancer.

The above content is a detailed introduction to the causes of kidney cancer. I hope everyone can understand it. Only by knowing more about the causes of kidney cancer can people always prevent this disease, and then the incidence rate can be greatly reduced. So if you want to get rid of the interference of this disease, please be more careful about the causes of kidney cancer. Finally, I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
