British scientists said on Wednesday they had found a batch of new gene mutations (linked) to kidney cancer, suggesting even this apparently "straightforward" cancer type can be (divided) into subtypes requiring tailored treatment. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common (type) of kidney cancer, stands out from other cancers because it is remarkably consistent and the (majority) of cases are known to be driven by mutations in a single gene, called VHL. Yet when researchers conducted a large DNA sequencing study of (more) than 3,500 genes from around 100 tumor samples, they found evidence that additional mutations in other genes were also driving cells to become (cancerous).
