Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer, affecting men more frequently than women. While the exact cause is often unknown, factors such as smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, and pre-existing kidney disease can increase the risk. (Learn more from the Cleveland Clinic)
