Kidney Cancer (Malignant neoplasm)


Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer. When discovered at an early stage, the tumors are small and restricted to the kidney making it easier to treat. Early signs may include blood in urine, back pain, fatigue, intermittent fevers, loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss.

All about Kidney Cancer (Malignant neoplasm)

FACTS: The term cancer applies to more than 100 different diseases, all of which have two things in common. As a result of genetic damage, normal cells become cancerous and can grow in an uncontrolled manner. In addition, these cells are able to invade other tissues, disrupting and destroying the structures and organs that they infiltrate.

As with most cancers, kidney cancer develops due to genetics as well as risk factors including poor diet, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and lack of exercise. Although the fundamentals of treatment – surgery, radiation and chemotherapy – have not changed in many years, advances in imaging, diagnosis, and sophisticated methods for delivering therapies have greatly improved their effectiveness. In addition, breakthroughs in immunotherapy are now being put into practice. As a result, many who develop cancer have a greatly improved chance of recovery compared to a few decades ago.

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer. When discovered at an early stage, the tumors are small and restricted to the kidney making it easier to treat. There may be no early signs, but as it progresses symptoms may include blood in urine, back pain, fatigue, intermittent fevers, loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss. Along with risk factors common to other cancers, kidney cancer is also more prevalent in dialysis patients as well as people with hypertension, prior kidney complications, and exposure to workplace chemicals such as cadmium or certain herbicides.
