- Abstract
Non-clear cell renal cell carcinomas (nccRCC) are a diverse group of kidney cancers with histopathologically and genetically heterogeneous features. About 25% of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are nccRCC types. The management and treatment of nccRCCs are rather limited, and the data are often estimated from studies in the more common clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Each subtype has its own distinctive biological and therapeutic profile. Our knowledge of the underlying biological features of nccRCC has directed and continues to shape the use of novel therapy targeting the main signaling pathways and leading to improved overall survival (OS) of the patients. This review discusses the characteristic molecular features of the major types of nccRCC and current cell-based and animal models for studying them. In the following, we highlighted major signaling pathways and therapeutic approaches for nccRCC patients.
