Clear cell RCC Segment is Expected to Hold Major Market Share in the North America Kidney Cancer Therapeutics & Diagnostics Market

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma, or ccRCC, is a type of kidney cancer. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is also called conventional renal cell carcinoma. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is named after how the tumor looks under the microscope. The cells in the tumor look clear, like bubbles.

As per the National Cancer Institute of the United States, in adults, ccRCC is the most common type of kidney cancer and makes up about 80% of all renal cell carcinoma cases. ccRCC is more common in adults than in children. Renal cell carcinoma makes up 2% to 6% of childhood and young adult kidney cancer cases.

For people without symptoms, these tumors can be discovered if the person has an imaging test as well. Another method to detect ccRCC is biopsy. To check if the tumor is ccRCC, the physician performs a biopsy, taking a small sample from the tumor with a needle. The sample is studied under the microscope to see what kind of tumor it is.

Some targeted therapies that are used to treat clear cell renal carcinoma include cabozantinib, axitinib, sunitinib, sorafenib, and pazopanib. Hence, with high prevalence of the disease and presence of diagnostic procedures and treatment therapies, the segment is expected to witness growth.
