Kidney Cancer

Advanced Urological Care: Tailored Approaches in Diagnosis, Treatment, and Survivorship

Kidney cancer, scientifically termed renal cell carcinoma, originates within the kidneys, which are essential bean-shaped organs located behind the abdominal area on each side of the spine. While renal cell carcinoma is the prevalent type in adults, other less common variants and Wilms' tumor can affect different age groups, including young children. As the incidence of kidney cancer appears to rise, factors like increased use of imaging techniques contribute to early detection.
Detecting kidney cancer at an early stage is common, allowing for intervention when the malignancy is confined to the kidney. Although initial stages may not manifest symptoms, later stages might lead to signs such as blood in urine, persistent back or side pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, and fever. Seeking medical consultation for persistent symptoms is crucial.
While the exact cause remains unclear, mutations in kidney cells' DNA trigger rapid growth and division, leading to the formation of abnormal cells that build tumors, some of which can metastasize to distant body parts.
