Understanding Kidney Cancer .

Kidney cancer, medically termed renal cell carcinoma (RCC), originates in the kidneys' filtering units. It's among the top ten cancers affecting men and women in India. Early detection and specialized care are crucial for effective treatment and improved outcomes.

Kidney Cancer Symptoms

Kidney cancer often remains silent in its early stages. However, as it progresses, patients may experience:​
  • Blood in urine (hematuria)
  • Persistent back or side pain
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Fatigue
  • Fever not linked to infections
  • A palpable lump in the abdomen
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's essential to consult a urologist promptly.

Causes and Risk Factors

Several factors can increase the risk of developing kidney cancer:
  • Smoking: Doubles the risk compared to non-smokers.
  • Obesity: Excess weight can alter hormones, affecting kidney function.
  • High Blood Pressure: Linked to increased kidney cancer risk.
  • Family History: Genetic predisposition plays a role.
  • Occupational Exposures: Contact with certain chemicals.
