What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Renal Cell Carcinoma?
Arming yourself with vital information is the first step to winning the war with cancer.
Renal cell cancer (RCC) — also called hypernephroma, renal adenocarcinoma, or renal cancer — is the most common form of kidney cancer found in adults. RCC occurs when cancer cells begin growing uncontrollably in the lining of the tubules of the kidney. These tubules play a significant role in helping filter the blood, excrete waste, and produce urine.
RCC is a fast-growing cancer. Without proper treatment, it can metastasize (spread) to the lungs and other surrounding organs.

What Caused Your Kidney Cancer?
