Risk Factors for the Comorbidity of Hypertension and Renal Cell Carcinoma in the Cardio-Oncologic Era and Treatment for Tumor-Induced Hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Advances in tumor diagnosis and treatment, especially the use of targeted therapies, have remarkably improved the survival rate of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), accompanied by higher hypertension (HTN) incidence among patients with RCC, reflecting the coming of a cardio-oncologic era. Therefore, for patients with RCC and HTN simultaneously, finding risk factors for the comorbidity and giving better clinical treatment have been urgent problems. In this review, we thoroughly investigated risk factors for the comorbidity of HTN and RCC based on preclinical and clinical studies. Firstly, RCC and HTN may have common risk factors, such as obesity, smoking, and other modifiable lifestyles. Secondly, RCC and HTN may lead to each other directly or indirectly by their therapies. We then
