   Several types of cancer can afflict the kidneys. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), themost common form, accounts for approximately 85% of all kidney cancers.

   Extractions: Several types of cancer can develop in the kidneys. 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.

   Extractions: 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.

   Extractions: 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?

   Extractions: 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.
