What is Renal Cancer?
Renal cancer, also known as kidney cancer, is a type of cancer that originates in the kidneys.
It typically develops in the renal tubules, which are small tubes within the kidneys responsible for filtering waste from the blood to produce urine.
Renal cancer can occur in one or both kidneys and may spread to other parts of the body if left untreated.
