What is Renal Cell Carcinoma?
Renal cell carcinoma is another name for kidney cancer, a cancer that originates in the kidneys. The exact cause is unknown, but smoking and certain kidney diseases and hereditary syndromes are risk factors. Many times there are no symptoms and the tumor is found on a x-ray test performed for another reason. Sometimes patients have blood in the urine or back or side pain.
Typical Symptoms of Renal Cell Carcinoma
- Blood in urine
- Kidney problem on a previous ultrasound scan
- Symptoms started with lower back pain on one side only
- Unintentional weight gain of more than 4.4lbs/2kg in a month
- Lower back pain
- Back pain or discomfort
- Feels a hard lump in upper right abdomen
- Bleeding and bruising easily
Diagnostic Questions for Renal Cell Carcinoma
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have blood in your urine?
- Have you ever had any kidney ultrasound abnormalities?
- Did you have lower back pain on one side only when your symptoms started?
- Have you gained more than 4.4lbs/2kg in one month without trying?
- Do you have lower back pain?
Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma
Most kidney cancers are diagnosed when they are surgically removed. Sometimes the whole kidney is removed and sometimes only part of the kidney. Sometimes surgery is the only treatment needed; otherwise chemotherapy, immunotherapies and targeted drug therapies are recommended by the treating medical oncologist.
