Exactly, kidney cancer is not a high-profile disease, but it is a widespread disease, which is found every year. A kidney cancer is known as an abnormal growth in the kidney. This cancer begins when healthy cells in one or both the kidneys change & multiply forming a mass called renal cortical cancer. In other words, some kidney cancers are benign, and others are malignant.
A malignant tumor is cancerous (it can grow & spread to other parts of the body) and a benign tumor (the tumor can grow but will not spread to other areas of the body). But the good news is that when kidney cancers are found early, the survival rate becomes very high.
