Renal adenocarcinoma in young adults.
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.
