RCC develops from the proximal tubule cells!
If it hasn't metastasized then there is a 2/3 chance of survival at 5 years.
It is resistant to chemo and radiotherapy, so the only things that work are immunotherapy, "cytoreductive nephrectomy", tyrosine kinase inhibition and VEGF-inhibition because this prevents angiogenesis.
