It will include Adult (≥18 years of age) patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease for which a decision has been made by the treating physician to initiate belzutifan treatment. The study aims to enroll up to 100 patients with VHL disease-associated renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and/or

    The planned minimum follow-up for each patient will be 3 years. The planned maximum follow-up will be up to 5-6 years. The study is being sponsored by Merck and is planned to be conducted in the USA (United states), Canada and UK (United Kingdom).
