Renal Cell (Kidney) Cancer<br />What Is Kidney Cancer (Adult) - Renal Cell Carcinoma?<br />Kidney cancer is a cancer that starts in the kidneys. To understand more about kidney cancer, it helps to know about the normal structure and function of the kidneys.<br />About the kidneys<br />The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist and weighing about 4 to 5 ounces. They are fixed to the upper back wall of the abdominal cavity. One kidney is just to the left and the other just to the right of the spine. Both are protected by the lower ribcage.<br />The kidneys' main job is to filter blood and rid your body of excess water, salt, and waste products. The filtered waste products are concentrated into urine. Urine leaves the kidneys through long slender tubes called ureters that connect to the bladder. Urine flows down the ureters into the bladder, where it is stored until you urinate.<br />

There are several subtypes of RCC, based mainly on how the cancer cells look under a microscope: -<br />Clear cell renal cell carcinoma : -<br />This is the most common form of renal cell carcinoma. About 8 out of 10 people with renal cell carcinoma have this kind of cancer. When seen under a microscope, the cells that make up clear cell RCC appear very pale or clear.<br />Papillary renal cell carcinoma : - This is the second most common subtype -- about 10% to 15% of people have this kind. These cancers form little finger-like projections (called papillae) in some, if not most, of the tumor. Some doctors call these cancers chromophilic because the cells take in certain dyes used so the tissue can be seen under the microscope, and look pink.<br />Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma : - This subtype accounts for about 5% of RCCs. The cells of these cancers are also pale, like the clear cells, but are much larger and have certain other features that can be recognized.<br />

These factors include the following: -<br /> * Cigarette smoking doubles the risk of renal cell cancer and contributes to as many as one third of all cases. The more someone smokes, the greater the risk is of that person developing renal cell cancer.<br /> * Obesity is a risk factor. As body weight increases, so does the risk of developing renal cell cancer. This is especially true in women.<br /> * Occupational exposure to petroleum products, heavy metals, solvents, coke-oven emissions, or asbestos<br /> * Cystic kidney disease associated with chronic (long-term) renal insufficiency<br /> * Cystic changes in the kidney and renal dialysis<br /> * Tuberous sclerosis<br /> * Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, an inherited disease associated with several cancers<br /> * Hereditary renal cancer………….<br />
