Kidney Cancer
The most common type of kidney cancer is called renal cell cancer, with
approximately 9 of 10 kidney cancers being this type. According to the
American Cancer Society, more than 50,000 people were diagnosed with kidney
cancer last year in the United States. But there is hope: More than 200,000
kidney cancer survivors are now living in the US. Recent advances in diagnosis
and treatment options will allow even more patients to live full lives
with the disease.
Risk factors for kidney cancer include smoking, obesity, high blood pressure,
family history of kidney cancer, and advanced kidney disease.

Kidney Cancer Signs and Symptoms
The most common symptoms of renal cell cancer include the following:
Blood in the urine
Rapid, unexplained weight loss
Low back pain
Loss of appetite
Swelling of ankles and legs
Mass or lump on the side or lower back
Fatigue
Recurrent fever
Unrelieved pain in the side
However, each person experiences symptoms differently. Renal cell cancer
symptoms may resemble other conditions or medical problems. As always,
you should consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Kidney Cancer Treatment
After your kidney cancer is found and staged, we will discuss your treatment
plan options with you. Factors in choosing your treatment plan include
the stage of the cancer, your overall health, the side effects of the
treatment, and the probability of extending your life and relieving symptoms.
Your renal cancer treatment options may include surgery, (including robotic
surgery), ablation, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy.
You may receive more than one type of treatment. The treatment that’s
right for you depends on a variety of factors including the stage of your
cancer and your general health.
