Molecular Subtypes of Renal Cell Carcinomas

 

Large scale sequencing studies have expanded our understanding of renal cell carcinomas; identifying new information of the genomic landscape across different renal cell carcinoma subtypes. As research in this field unfolds, discoveries from these studies have had significant impact in not only identifying diagnostic molecular alteration, but also prognostic subcategories and therapeutically targetable genomic alterations. This talk will review the emerging genomic landscape of renal cell carcinomas, provide an overview of an integrative approach to molecular subtyping of this subset of tumors and the challenges and limitations of this approach, and address the role of a multi-omics approach in precision medicine for renal cancers.

Originally presented on February 13, 2019, in Park City, Utah.
