Kidney cancer is not a single disease; it is made up of a number of different types of cancer, each with a different histology, a different clinical course, caused by a different gene, and responding differently to therapy. The VHL gene is the gene for the hereditary cancer syndrome, von Hippel-Lindau, as well as for the common form of sporadic, non-inherited, clear cell kidney cancer. Understanding the VHL-HIF pathway has provided the foundation for the development of a number of agents targeting this pathway, such as sunitinib, sorafenib and temsirolimus. Hereditary Papillary Renal Carcinoma (HPRC) is a hereditary renal cancer syndrome in which affected individuals are at risk for the development of bilateral, multifocal, type 1 papillary renal cell carcinoma. The genetic defect underlying HPRC is MET, the cell surface receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Mutations of MET have also been found in a subset of tumors from patients with sporadic type 1 papillary renal cell carcinoma. Clinical trials targeting the MET pathway are underway in patients with HPRC as well as patients with sporadic (non-hereditary) papillary kidney cancer. The BHD (also known as FLCN) gene is the gene for Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, an autosomal dominant genodermatosis associated with a hereditary form of chromophobe, and oncocytic hybrid RCC. Preclinical studies are underway targeting the BHD gene pathway in preparation for clinical trials in Birt-Hogg-Dubé and sporadic chromophobe RCC. Hereditary Leiomyomatosis Renal Cell Carcinoma (HLRCC) patients are at risk for the development of cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas and a very aggressive type of RCC. HLRCC is characterized by germline mutation of the Krebs cycle enzyme, fumarate hydratase (FH). Studies of the TCA cycle and VHL-HIF pathways have provided the foundation for therapeutic approaches in patients with HLRCC-associated kidney cancer, as well as other hereditary and sporadic forms of RCC.
