Renal Cell Carcinoma

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is a type of kidney cancer that begins in the lining of the renal tubules, which help filter blood and produce urine. It often develops in adults and can cause symptoms like blood in urine, lower back pain, or weight loss. Factors like smoking, obesity, and certain genetic conditions can increase the risk. RCC can be diagnosed through imaging tests and biopsies. Treatment options include surgery, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, depending on the cancer's stage and severity. Early detection improves the chances of successful treatment and management.
