Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for people with hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell cancer or those in families affected by this condition. If you join, you may have your medical history reviewed and undergo tests to help understand the disease better.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I have skin leiomyomas and kidney cancer
  • I have skin leiomyomas and uterine leiomyomas
  • I have multiple skin leiomyomas
  • I have kidney cancer and uterine leiomyomas
  • I have a kidney tumor that may be related to HLRCC
  • I am at least 2 years old
  • I am related by blood to someone with known or suspected HLRCC

About This Trial
This study will investigate what causes hereditary leiomyomatosis renal (kidney) cell cancer, or HLRCC, and how the disease is related to the development of kidney tumors. Leiomyomas are benign (non-cancerous) tumors arising from smooth muscle. HLRCC can cause various health problems. Some people develop red bumps on their skin that can be painful at times. Some women with HLRCC can develop leiomy…
