Kidney cancer, also known as renal cancer, originates in the kidneys — two bean-shaped organs responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. Early detection and precise treatment are essential for preserving kidney function and improving patient outcomes.
What is Kidney Cancer?
Kidney cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the kidney tissues grow uncontrollably, forming malignant tumors. The most common type is renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which accounts for approximately 85% of kidney cancers. Other types include transitional cell carcinoma and Wilms tumor (more common in children).
Symptoms
- Blood in urine (hematuria)
- Persistent pain or discomfort in the side or lower back
- A lump or mass in the abdomen or side
- Fatigue and unexplained weight loss
- Fever not related to infection
- Loss of appetite
Causes & Risk Factors
- Smoking tobacco
- Obesity and unhealthy lifestyle
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Family history of kidney cancer
- Exposure to certain chemicals and toxins at work
- Chronic kidney disease or dialysis treatment
Diagnosis
- Physical examination and detailed patient history
- Urinalysis and blood tests to assess kidney function
- Imaging studies including ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI for tumor detection and staging
- Biopsy may be performed in select cases for confirmation
Treatment Options
- Active SurveillanceMonitoring low-risk prostate cancer without immediate treatment
- Surgery: Partial or radical nephrectomy to remove the tumor or entire kidney
- Targeted Therapy:Drugs that block pathways promoting cancer growth
- Immunotherapy: Enhances immune response to attack cancer cells
- Chemotherapy:Less commonly used but may be considered in some cases
- Ablative therapies:Minimally invasive treatments like cryoablation or radiofrequency ablation for small tumors
Prognosis & Follow-up
Early-stage kidney cancer has a favorable prognosis with timely treatment. Regular follow-up with imaging and lab tests is essential to monitor for recurrence or progression and manage kidney function
