In many of these cases, there is a lack of the key features of a syndromic clinical phenotype suggestive of a specific hereditary condition. In this scenario, it is possible that either a combination of shared environmental and genetic risk factors or as yet unidentified monogenetic susceptibility may be responsible for the RCC; thus, the optimal surveillance strategy for the affected person (after RCC follow-up has ceased) and for their relatives in particular, is unclear.</p>\u0000<p>Early detection of RCC is associated with a better prognosis, with 5-year survival of stage I disease in the order of 88.3% compared to 14% for those with stage 4 disease [<span>1</span>]. Imaging tests enabling early detection are widely available and are associated with a shift in stage at diagnosis [<span>2</span>]. For most RCC subtypes, the characteristics of identified renal masses, such as the size and complexity of renal cysts (Bosniak classification), can be used to decide the point at which to intervene. In middle-aged individuals in the general population, the sojourn time between radiologically evident (screen-detectable) kidney cancer and clinically meaningful diagnosis is estimated to be in the order of 3.7–5.8 years, [<span>3</span>] although growth is more rapid, and metastatic potential higher at smaller sizes, in individuals with certain monogenic syndromes predisposing to kidney cancer – most notably FH tumour predisposition syndrome [<span>4</span>].</p>\u0000<p>There is a paucity of data regarding the incidence of RCC in relatives following comprehensive negative genetic assessment in a proband. However, a number of studies have been conducted that estimate the relative risk of RCC in individuals with a family history compared to those without. The largest of these utilised 8513 RCC cases in the Swedish Family Cancer Database [<span>5</span>] and showed a standardised incidence ratio of 1.75 (95% CI 1.49–2.04) in individuals with an affected parent; 2.61 (95% CI 2.00–3.34) in those with an affected sibling and 10.98 (95% CI 4.42–22.63) if both a parent and sibling had RCC. A limitation of estimates such as these is that they may be influenced by the inclusion of individuals with known hereditary conditions. In the aforementioned study, steps were taken to exclude von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (the most common RCC predisposition condition) from analysis, which did not result in a significant difference in findings. These relative risks exceed those observed for other known RCC risk factors, such as smoking (relative risk 1.31 (95% CI 1.22–1.4) for all smokers) [<span>6</span>] and obesity (relative risk 1.77 (95% CI 1.68–1.87)) [<span>7</span>].</p>\u0000<p>Concern over RCC risk in family members of RCC patients assessed by genetics services frequently prompts the suggestion of radio","PeriodicalId":8985,"journal":{"name":"BJU International","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143723650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
