Abstract:
There are 9 histological types of renal carcinoma. The most frequent is the renal clear cell carcinoma that has the multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma and the Xp11-2 translocation renal cell carcinoma as main differential diagnosis and for which treatment is standardized. In other histologic forms, the most efficient medical treatments of metastatic diseases may be: sorafenib in the chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, mTOR inhibitors in papillar renal carcinomas, chemotherapy in Bellini carcinoma.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
