title: Oncogenes and growth factors in renal cell carcinoma.
abstract: Oncogenes and growth factors play a role in normal cellular processes such as growth and differentiation. In addition, considerable circumstantial evidence indicates that these genes may be responsible for the induction and/or maintenance of human malignancies. There are different oncogene families; up to now only a small number has been tested in renal cancer cells.
