Spotlight on Kidney Cancer: Causes, Symptoms, and Prevention

Kidney cancer, primarily renal cell carcinoma (RCC), arises from abnormal cell growth in the kidneys, forming tumours that can invade surrounding tissues and metastasize to other organs. Symptoms often include blood in urine, flank pain, and high blood pressure, but they may not appear until later stages. Determinants include older age, obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure. Treatment methods vary based on the cancer's stage and may include surgery, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Join the PACE Hospitals Podcast with Dr. Abhik Debnath, Consultant Laparoscopic Urologist, Endourologist, Andrologist and Kidney Transplant Surgeon at PACE Hospitals, Hitech City, Hyderabad, India, to gain insights into kidney cancer—what it is, how it develops, its impact on your health, and the latest treatment options available to manage it effectively.
