Abstract:
Renal adenocarcinoma is rare in young people. The prognosis of the condition would appear to be better in young people justifying a radical treatment rationale even in cases of advanced disease. This report describes a series of patients under the age of 30 with renal adenocarcinoma and a review of the literature. The possible mechanisms for the apparent improved survival of patients in this age group is discussed.

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
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,...
