Kidney Cancer

Kidney cancer is the development of tumors in the structures of the kidneys, most often renal cell carcinomas, that may spread to other parts of the body.

Depending on the cancer’s type, aggressiveness, and location, you might need surgery to remove part or all of the affected kidney or other treatments involving radiation, freezing, burning, or immunotherapy.
