Kidney Cancer

Kidney cancer is cancer that begins in the kidneys. Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control.

The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They’re located behind your abdominal organs, with one kidney on each side of your spine.

In adults, renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer. Other less common types of kidney cancer can occur, such as renal medullary carcinoma
