John Strang, M.D. Kidney (Renal) Cancer What is Kidney Cancer? The kidneys are two organs located just above the waist on either side of the spine. They are part of the urinary system and their main function is to filter blood and produce urine to rid the body of waste. The kidneys also produce substances that help control blood pressure and regulate the formation of red blood cells. Several types of cancer can develop in the kidney, but the most common form of kidney cancer in adults is renal cell cancer (also called renal cell adenocarcinoma). This cancer develops in the tissues that filter blood and produce urine, and occurs when these cells become abnormal and divide without control or order.

Home About Antigenics Disease Areas Kidney cancer What is kidney cancer? Kidney cancer is an abnormal, uncontrolled growth of cells in the kidney . According to the American Cancer Society , the most common type is renal cell cancer (also called renal cell carcinoma ), which accounts for 85 percent of all kidney tumors. Renal cell cancer may develop in one or both kidneys. In the early stages, kidney cancer usually causes no obvious signs or symptoms. As kidney cancer grows, it may invade organs near the kidney such as the liver colon or pancreas . Kidney cancer cells may also break away from the original tumor and spread (or metastasize ) to other parts of the body such as the lymph nodes , bones or lungs, with about one third of cases showing metastasis at the time of diagnosis. How many people get kidney cancer?

Rufus Green Jr., M.D., FACS, welcomes you to his offices on the campuses of RHD Memorial Medical Center, St. Paul Medical Center, and Las Colinas Medical Center. Doctor Green brings a vast amount of experience to his specialty, as well as the belief that every patient is an "individual with unique needs." Featured Articles: Urologic Advances Female Urology Erectile Dysfunction Erectile Dysfunction: ... Bladder Cancer Kidney Cancer: Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 28,000 new cases of renal cell carcinoma will be detected in 1998. It is further estimated that over 11,000 deaths will result from this form of kidney cancer. Neither chemotherapy nor radiation therapy have been shown to be effective against renal cell carcinoma that has spread beyond the kidney (metastatic). Thus, the early detection of these cancers, which are generally incurable except by surgical means, should translate into improvements in survival due to earlier operative intervention at a potentially curable stage. The cause of renal cell carcinoma is unknown, although tobacco and industrial carcinogens have been implicated. There is an association of renal cell carcinoma with several clinical syndromes such as Von Hippel Lindan Disease, Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease, and Acquired Renal Cystic Disease. Renal Cell Carcinoma has also been reported to run in certain families (a familial type).

In the United States, about 30,000 new cases of renal cell cancer are detected each year. Surgery is the only curative treatment for localized renal cell cancer. In the year 2001, an estimated 30,800 Americans were diagnosed with renal cell cancer (kidney cancer) and 12,100 Americans died of this disease. Mayo Clinic physicians have been leaders in the development of kidney-sparing surgery to treat kidney cancer, offering patients an option other than having their kidney removed. Treatment Options Radical Nephrectomy Traditionally, renal cell cancer has been surgically treated removing both the diseased kidney and the neighboring adrenal gland a procedure known as radical nephrectomy. This procedure became the standard at a time when kidney cancer was rarely detected before it was relatively advanced. The diagnosis was usually made after the development of symptoms, such as flank pain, blood in the urine, or a mass or lump in the abdomen or flank.

In fact, 70 percent of the kidney procedures now performed at Mayo Clinic are for these incidentally discovered kidney masses. Only 5 percent of patients have one or more of the "classic symptoms" of pain, blood in the urine, or a mass.

One kidney is to the left and the other is to the right of the backbone. Both are protected by the lower ribcage. The kidneys' function is to filter the blood and eliminate the body of excess fluid, salt and waste products. continue discovery Kidney Cancer - Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) RCC is the most common type of kidney cancer.

The new technique, hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy, offers the advantages of two surgical techniques: the smaller incisions and shorter recovery times of laparoscopic surgery, and the option of removing a completely intact kidney afforded by conventional surgery, according to Frank P. Begun, MD , Associate Professor of Surgery in the Division of Urology at the Medical College. "It is also an ideal approach for elderly patients, who may be too frail for conventional surgery, which could be very debilitating," he said.

Smoking and work-related cadmium exposure are known risk factors. A growth of cancer cells within the kidney forms an enlarging mass that may spread outside the kidney. The symptoms may occur as a result of effects on kidney function or effects on other organs. Symptoms vary, depending on how advanced the tumor is when it is found. Symptoms can include:

Clinic urologic surgeons pioneered work in partial nephrectomy, demonstrating that it is not always necessary to remove the entire kidney to treat kidney cancer. Clinic physicians and researchers established a non-invasive method to detect cancer using urine samples, with the ultimate goal of developing a product to screen for early kidney cancer.
