Renal Cancer
Renal cancer is a type of cancer which develops in the kidneys. As the kidneys are responsible for filtering out waste in the blood, if left untreated, renal cancer can spread to other parts of the body. The most common type of renal cancer is called renal cell carcinoma. Symptoms, which can include blood in the urine, pain in the sides, lump in the abdomen, and general fatigue, may be present in more advanced stages of the disease. Diagnosis of renal cancer is typically done through imaging scans and biopsies of the kidney, and treatments may include surgery to remove the cancerous cells, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Early detection is important to achieve the most successful outcomes, and regular check-ups with a medical professional can help to ensure diagnosis and treatment as early as possible.
