A member asked:
Are there some people who don't have any risk factors who still develop kidney cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Unfortunately, people without any noticeable risk factors like being male or smoking can develop kidney cancer. These individuals without apparent risk factors usually have an inherited genetic problem that led to the kidney cancer.
