Trauma to kidney

I was in a rear collision car accident on 3/10/98 in which my
seat broke and I injured my back and bruised my right kidney. I
received therapy for my back and went for a follow-up MRI in
December, 1998 (previous MRI was done in March). This MRI showed
a mass in my right kidney. I subsequently had my kidney removed
and there was a malignant mass removed. I had been under a great
deal of stress after the accident. Could this accident and the
stress have caused the mass in my kidney? No one in my family
has ever had cancer.
