Kidney cancer, also known as renal cell cancer, begins in the kidneys and is common among adults and children (many children develop a specific kind of kidney cancer called Wilms' tumor). Risk of developing kidney cancer increases with age, smoking, being male, obesity, hypertension, exposure to chemicals, von hippel-lindau disease, treatment for kidney failure, and family history. Kidney cancer is most commonly treated with surgery, cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, drug therapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy. In metastatic renal cell cancer, the cancer has spread to other organs such as lymph nodes, the lungs, liver, bones, or the brain. An estimated 70% of patients will develop metastases throughout their disease. This is not a good prognosis as survival rates of 5 years is about 5-15%. Survival rates are improved if surgery to remove all visible disease is performed. Radiation and chemotherapy are not typically used in metastatic renal cell cancer, but may be used in various situations.
