What is Kidney Cancer?

Kidney cancer, also known as renal cancer, is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the kidneys. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine, just below the rib cage. They are responsible for filtering waste from the blood and producing urine.

Kidney cancer is among the ten most common cancers in both men and women. Each year, it affects thousands of people worldwide, with risk factors including smoking, obesity, hypertension, and a family history of the disease.

Early-stage kidney cancer often has no symptoms, making it difficult to detect. When symptoms do appear, they can include blood in the urine, persistent back or side pain, fatigue, weight loss, and fever.
