Risk of Hereditary renal cell carcinoma and The Preventing Measures

Salam and hello fellow Dr. My mother died due to renal cell carcinoma back in 2005 when i was just seven and yesterday, my auntie (my mother’s little sister) died due to the same sickness and she was like a mom to me. My aunt was diagnose at quite at early stage and still with 15 years of medical advancement from the death oh my mother still could not save my aunt (not blaming any doctors and medical tech, just sad and grieve talk and I already accept that such cancer is really hard to treat). So my question is, I am worried about my little sister, she’s in the 20’s now and is there any chance of her getting the cancer and where can my sister be test for it annually?
