Spotlight on Kidney Cancer: Causes, Symptoms, and Prevention

Kidney cancer, primarily renal cell carcinoma (RCC), develops from abnormal cell growth in the kidneys, forming tumors that can invade surrounding tissues and metastasize to other organs. Symptoms often include blood in the urine, flank pain, and high blood pressure, but they may not appear until later stages. Risk factors include older age, obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure. Treatment methods vary based on the cancer's stage and may include surgery, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.
