Additional Info
- Kidney cancer, also known as renal cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the cells in the kidney.
- Kidney cancer originates in the kidney in two principal locations: the renal tubule and the renal pelvis. Most cancers in the renal tubule are renal cell carcinoma and clear cell adenocarcinoma. Most cancers in the renal pelvis are transitional cell carcinoma (also known as urothelial cell carcinoma). These names reflect the type of cell from which the cancer developed.
- The different types of kidney cancer (such as RCC and UCC) develop in different ways, meaning that the diseases have different long term outcomes, and need to be staged and treated in different ways. RCC is responsible for approximately 80% of primary renal cancers, and UCC accounts the majority of the remainder.
- Cancer in the kidney may also be secondary, the result of metastasis from a primary cancer elsewhere in the body.
