Understanding Kidney Cancer
Understanding Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the kidneys, which are bean-shaped organs responsible for filtering waste and excess fluid from the blood. It develops when the kidney cells grow out of control and form a mass called a tumor.
Most kidney cancers affect only one kidney and, in rare cases, may develop in both kidneys. It may spread to other tissues and vital organs if left untreated.
It may develop in both adults and cancer. Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults. Young children may develop Wilms tumors.
Causes And Risk Factors of Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer occurs when the kidney cells undergo mutations in their DNA.
The different risk factors of kidney cancer include
- Family history of kidney cancer
- Old age and the risk of kidney cancer increase with age
- People who have a history of smoking
- Obese people
- Long-term dialysis treatment
- Higher blood pressure, also known as hypertension, may increase the risk of kidney cancer.

- Stage I: The tumor is 7 cm (< 7cm) across or smaller and is confined to the kidney.
- Stage II: The tumor is larger than 7cm (7cm) but is still confined to the kidney and has not spread to lymph nodes or other tissue.
- Stage III: The tumor has spread to major blood vessels and nearby lymph nodes.
- Stage IV: Cancer has spread to distant organs
