Kidney cancer is the type of cancer that first starts in the kidney. Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. It is located behind your abdominal organs, with one kidney on each side of your spine.
Among these adults, renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer. Other less common types of kidney cancer can occur. Young children are more likely to develop a type of kidney cancer called Wilms tumor.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), also known as renal cell cancer or renal cell adenocarcinoma, is the most common type of kidney cancer. The incidence of kidney cancer appears to be increasing. One reason for this may be that imaging techniques such as computerized tomography (CT) scans are being used more often.
These tests can lead to the accidental detection of more kidney cancers. Kidney cancer is often detected at an early stage, when the cancer is small and confined to the kidney. And it is done by the surgeon to stop it before it spreads to other parts of the body or to the kidneys.
Thus, cancer usually has no signs or symptoms in its early stages. Over time, signs and symptoms may develop, including the following
Blood in your urine, which may appear pink, red, or orange in color
Pain in your back or side that doesn't go away
Loss of appetite
Unexplained weight loss
Feeling tired
Fever
