What is Kidney Cancer?

Kidney cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably within the kidney.

The kidneys are responsible for:

Filtering waste products from the blood
Producing urine
Regulating blood pressure
Maintaining fluid balance

Kidney cancer is one of the most common urologic cancers and is often discovered incidentally during imaging studies performed for other reasons.

When diagnosed early, treatment outcomes are highly favorable.

As the tumor grows, symptoms may include:

Blood in Urine (Hematuria)

The most common warning sign.

Persistent Back or Flank Pain

Pain on one side of the back below the ribs.

Lump in the Abdomen
