Background

Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is an aggressive malignancy affecting predominantly young African Americans with sickle cell trait (SCT) or disease (SCD), while a pathologically similar collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) affects patients without sickle cell trait. Clinical responses to chemotherapy and IL-2 in RMC/CDC are poor and novel therapies are needed.
