RCC (Renal Cell Carcinoma)

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer, originating in the lining of the small tubes within the kidney. It often develops without symptoms, but can cause blood in the urine, pain, or a lump in the abdomen if advanced. Factors like smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, and family history increase risk. RCC is usually diagnosed through imaging tests, and treatment may involve surgery to remove the tumor or kidney, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. Early detection improves outcomes, making regular check-ups important for those at risk.
