kidney cancer

Tumor in kidney

Kidney cancer is cancer originating in the kidneys—the organs that filter blood and produce urine.

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type in adults.

Symptoms often appear late and include blood in urine, back pain, and unexplained weight loss.

The kidney cancer was caught early during a routine scan.
