Kidney Cancer
Renal cell carcinoma, also known by the eponym Grawitz tumor, is the most
common form of kidney cancer arising from the renal tubule. It is the most common type of
kidney cancer in adults. Initial therapy is with surgery. It is notoriously resistant to
radiation therapy and chemotherapy, although some cases respond to immunotherapy.

General Information About Renal Cell Cancer
Renal cell cancer (also called kidney cancer or renal adenocarcinoma) is a
disease in which malignant (cancer) cells are found in the lining of tubules (very small
tubes) in the kidney. There are 2 kidneys, one on each side of the backbone, above the
waist. The tiny tubules in the kidneys filter and clean the blood, taking out waste
products and making urine. The urine passes from each kidney into the bladder through a
long tube called a ureter. The bladder stores the urine until it is passed from the body.
