W. Marston Linehan, MD, chief, Urologic Oncology Branch, National Cancer Institute, discusses gene mutations in papillary kidney cancer.
Hereditary papillary renal carcinoma (HPRC) is a hereditary kidney cancer that is studied to help better understand non-hereditary kidney cancer. The patients with HRPC who have a germline MET-gene mutation are highly likely to develop bilateral, multifocal, type 1 papillary kidney cancer.
The MET-gene is mutated in a significant number of these patients, explains Linehan. The gene is altered in over 80% of tumors from patients with type 1 papillary kidney cancer.
