Renal cancer, also known as kidney cancer, occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the kidneys, potentially forming tumors. The most common type is renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which often develops without early symptoms. However, signs such as blood in the urine, lower back pain, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue may appear as the disease progresses. Risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, obesity, and a family history of kidney cancer. Early detection through imaging tests like CT scans or ultrasounds improves treatment options, which may include surgery, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or, in some cases, active surveillance for small tumors. If you have concerns about kidney cancer, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and guidance. *The information provided on the site is for educational purposes only, and does not substitute for professional medical advice.
