Kidney cancer (also called renal adenocarcinoma or renal cell cancer) is a disease in which cancer
cells are found within the lining of tubules in the kidney. We have two
kidneys, behind the peritoneum one on each side of the spinal cord. Small
tubules in the kidneys purify the blood. Unabsorbed products are formed as
urine. The urine then passes in to the urinary bladder through long tubes
called ureter one coming from each kidney and joining the bladder. The urine is
stored in bladder until it leaves the body through urethra. Kidney cancer
perhaps remains clinically occult for most of its course. Immunomodulatory
agents and targeted therapy are the standard care measures in metastatic
disease patients. The most common malignant disease affecting kidney is kidney
cancer. One of the most common causes for kidney cancer is smoking.
