Kidney Cancer

Kidney cancer, also known as renal carcinoma, arises when malignant cells form in your kidneys’ lining, most often within the renal cortex. Early signs such as blood in the urine, persistent flank pain, or unexplained weight loss warrant prompt evaluation with imaging studies and biopsy. Treatment ranges from minimally invasive surgery (partial or radical nephrectomy) to targeted therapies and immunotherapy, offering hope for improved outcomes when detected early.
