Clear Cell Carcinoma

Clear cell carcinoma is a type of cancer characterized by cells that appear clear or empty under the microscope due to the presence of fluid or glycogen. It commonly occurs in organs like the kidney, ovaries, and uterus. These tumors often grow slowly but can be aggressive and difficult to treat if diagnosed late. Symptoms depend on the affected area and may include pain, unusual bleeding, or a lump. Diagnosis involves imaging tests and a biopsy. Treatment usually includes surgery, and sometimes chemotherapy or targeted therapy, to remove or control the cancer.
