Editor’s note: The annual incidence of kidney cancer is approximately 200 000 cases worldwide, with the highest numbers of new cases observed in central Europe and among black individuals in the US (Curr Opin Urol 2004;14:229–33). Tobacco smoking has been reported to be a risk factor (Handbooks of Cancer Prevention Volume 6. Weight Control and Physical Activity. Lyon, IARC Press, 2002), and hypertension and obesity are also possible risk factors (Am J Epidemiol 1999;149:521–30, Br J Cancer 85;984–90).
