What would cause Renal Cancer?

My uncle has Renal Cancer and it just came out of no where with no signs. Just one day he couldn't get out of bed and was in extreme pain. So I was just woundering what would cause it.

Sometimes nothing at all. My son was diagnosed with a Wilms Tumor (kidney tumor) in the summer of 2005. He has none of the genetic markers, and at age 3 did not have any of lifes bad habits that could have caused cancer.

Smoking
Dialysis
Heredity and family history (there are genetic factors including von Hippel-Lindau; most cases are not von Hippel-Lindau)
