Kidney Cancer

• 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.
