• Renal cell carcinoma (2017, background): “Beyond well-known risk factors for RCC, such as cigarette smoking, obesity and hypertension, evidence is accumulating to suggest an aetiological or, on the contrary, a protective role, for additional factors [2], such as trichloroethylene.”
• International variations and trends in renal cell carcinoma incidence and mortality. (2015, background): “In comparison to previous studies reporting increases in kidney cancer mortality worldwide, it is evident that some progress has been made given the stabilisation or decline in mortality trends observed in recent years in a number of countries globally [3,19,30].”
• Epidemiology of Renal Cell Carcinoma (2018, background): “Associations with other reproductive factors, including the use of oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy, are not consistently observed [41].”
• The relationship between different dimensions of alcohol use and the burden of disease—an update (2017, background): “First, by increasing insulin sensitivity, alcohol may decrease the risk of kidney cancer [159,160]; in contrast, insulin resistance has been observed to be a risk factor for cancer independent of other risk factors such as obesity [161,162].”
• Renal cell carcinoma: ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. (2010, background): “Beyond well-known risk factors for RCC, such as cigarette smoking, obesity and hypertension, evidence is accumulating to suggest an aetiological or, on the contrary, a protective role, for additional factors [2], such as trichloroethylene.”
• The KiTS19 Challenge Data: 300 Kidney Tumor Cases with Clinical Context, CT Semantic Segmentations, and Surgical Outcomes (2019, background): “Some established risk factors for kidney cancer are smoking, obesity, and hypertension [3].”
