Introduction: Relationship between renal cell carcinoma and physical activity is not clear.

Objectives: This study aimed to review the relationship between renal cell carcinoma and physical activity.

We used Kidney cancer, Exercise, Kidney Neoplasm, Renal cancer, Physical activity, Renal cell carcinoma, Physical inactivity and Sedentary Lifestyle or a combination of them in the title/abstracts as the keywords.

Results: There were 37,742 subjects reviewed in this systematic review of eleven published papers including five standard case-control, three cohorts and three population-based case-control design.

Conclusion: According to the results, physical activity has a reverse relationship with renal cell carcinoma.

Keywords: Physical activity, Kidney, Kidney, Neoplasm, Inactivity, Exercise, Renal cell carcinoma

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:
