  2. KidneyCancer • Kidney cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the kidneys. Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that are around the size of your fist. They are situated behind your abdominal organs, one on each side of your spine. • Renal cell carcinoma is the most frequent type of kidney cancer in adults. Other kinds of kidney cancer that are less common can develop. Wilms’ tumor, a kind of kidney cancer, is more common in young children. • Kidney cancer appears to be becoming more common. One cause for this could be the increased usage of imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) scans. These tests may result in the inadvertent detection of more kidney cancers.
