Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the most common form, accounts for approximately 85% of all cases. In RCC, cancerous (malignant) cells develop in the lining of the kidney's tubules and grow into a mass called a tumor. In most cases, a single tumor develops, although more than one tumor can develop within one or both kidneys. Early diagnosis of kidney cancer is important. As with most types of cancer, the earlier the tumor is discovered, the better a patient's chances for survival. Tumors discovered at an early stage often respond well to treatment. Survival rates in such cases are high. Tumors that have grown large or spread (metastasized) through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to other parts of the body are more difficult to treat and present an increased risk for mortality.

Welcome to the National Cancer Institute Kidney Cancer Web Page. This page is continually updated, so if you have any comments, suggestions, or additions, please send us a message Kidney Cancer Treatment and Research at the National Cancer Institute Carcinoma of the kidney affects some 27,000 individuals in the United States each year. Until recently relatively little attention was paid to the genetics and histology of renal carcinomas. In the past 10 years major advances have been made in the understanding of the genetic basis of human kidney cancer. The National Cancer Institute has become a leading center for research on the genetic basis of kidney cancer. We created this Web page to detail the research (with the very latest described in the "What's New" page), as well as the members of the multidisciplinary team of clinicians and scientists at the National Cancer Institute who study and treat patients with kidney cancer. We wish to inform the public of the Familial Kidney Tumor Program based at the National Cancer Institute in the hopes of encouraging persons having more than one family member afflicted with kidney cancer to register their families.

K I D N E Y C A N C E R What is Kidney Cancer? Normally, in an adult kidney cells divide rapidly, to replace those lost to old age and injury, The division and growth of these cells is under tight control by the genes inside the cells. Kidney cancer starts when control of this division is lost, and so a cell starts to divide "out of control". Kidney cancer starts in just one cell. A change occurs in the genes of this cell which screws up the controls that prevent haphazard division, and it starts dividing like crazy, forming a tumor. A tumor simply means a swelling and is not necessarily cancerous. When the cells in the tumor just grow in their local area, and do not spread elsewhere, then the tumor is benign. However, when the tumor's cells have the ability to spread elsewhere in the body, this is a malignant (cancerous) tumor. A malignant tumor can metastasize (spread) to any area of the body, cause symptoms there, and eventually kill the patient. Where are the Kidneys Located?

What is cancer? What causes kidney cancer? What are the symptoms of kidney cancer? ... Kidney Cancer At A Glance What are the kidneys? The kidneys are part of the urinary tract. They are a pair of organs found just above the waist on each side of the spine. The kidneys remove waste products from the blood and produce urine. As blood flows through the kidneys, they filter waste products, chemicals, and unneeded water from the blood. Urine collects in the middle of each kidney, an area called the renal pelvis. Urine then drains from the kidney through a long tube, the ureter, to the bladder, where it is stored. The kidneys also make substances that help control blood pressure and regulate the formation of red blood cells. What is cancer? Cancer is a group of diseases. More than 100 different types of cancer are known and there are several types of kidney cancer. They all have one thing in common: cells become abnormal. These abnormal cells grow and destroy body tissue and can spread to other parts of the body. Healthy cells that make up the body's tissues grow, divide, and replace themselves in an orderly way. This process keeps the body in good repair. If cells lose the ability to control their growth, they grow too rapidly and without any order. They form too much tissue. The mass of extra tissue is called a tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant.

MU Health Care Home MU Home Home About ... Kidney cancer Renal cell carcinoma A lso known as hypernephroma or clear cell carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma is the most common tumor rising from the kidney, with about 30,000 cases per year diagnosed in the United States. Smoking is the most prominent risk factor, though many cases arise in non-smokers. Diagnosis before the age 40 is rare. Renal cell carcinoma can cause pain in the back, side, or abdomen, blood in the urine, and/or fever and weight loss. Diagnosed early as a small tumor confined to the kidney, this disease may be cured by surgery. If the tumor is large or has spread to the local veins or lymph nodes, it can come back months to years later after complete surgical removal, either in the back where the tumor was or in the form of metastatic tumors of the lung, bone, liver, or brain. Sometimes, the tumor is so large that it has already spread as tumors in lymph nodes and other organs at the time of diagnosis, and in such cases surgery is not always helpful. Renal cell carcinoma, once it has spread, can grow slowly or rapidly.
