  5. Stages Localized: Cancer is only in the kidneys and has not spread. Regional: Cancer has spread to nearby tissues. Distant: Cancer has spread throughout the body and is affecting other organs, such as the liver. http://www.cancercross.in/dr-vikas-goswami-oncologist/

  6. Causes • Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) • Transitional cell carcinoma http://www.cancercross.in/dr-vikas-goswami-oncologist/

  7. Risk Factors Age: Kidney cancer is rare before the age of 45 years. Gender: RCC affects about twice as many men as women. Obesity: People with obesity have a higher risk, possibly due to hormonal factors. Smoking: Regular tobacco smokers have a higher risk, but the risk starts to drop after the person quits. High blood pressure: Doctors are unsure whether it is hypertension itself or the medication that people use for it that leads to an increased risk of RCC. Toxic chemicals: People who work with certain chemicals, such as cadmium, some herbicides, and organic solvents, may have a higher risk. Medications: The use of diuretics and some older pain relief medications may put a person at higher risk. Dialysis: People with advanced kidney disease who receive dialysis may have a higher risk. It is not clear whether this is due to the disease or the treatment. Genetic and hereditary factors: People with certain conditions may be more likely to develop RCC. Examples include von Hippel-Lindau disease, hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma, and Cowden syndrome. http://www.cancercross.in/dr-vikas-goswami-oncologist/
