Revised text to state that renal cell cancer accounts for about 4% of all adult malignancies in the United States (cited Siegel et al. as reference 7). Also added text about a study that evaluated 80,309 monozygotic twin individuals and 123,382 same-sex dizygotic twin individuals and found an excess cancer risk in twins whose co-twin was diagnosed with cancer (cited Mucci et al. as reference 11).
