Abstract:
Obesity is both a risk factor for the development of the most common form of kidney cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), and a prognostically protective factor for clinical outcomes. In this issue of Cancer Discovery, Tan and colleagues identify the tumor- and adipose-derived adipokine chemerin as a circulating mediator of ccRCC lipid metabolism and ferroptotic susceptibility that may clarify the paradoxical relationship between ccRCC and obesity.See related article by Tan et al., p. 2072.

The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
