Kidney cancer occurs when old or damaged kidney cells continue to multiply uncontrollably and form tumors. Symptoms may include blood in the urine, back pain, and swelling. Kidney cancer is staged from 1 to 4 based on tumor size and spread. The most common types are renal cell carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma. Treatment options include surgery to remove the tumor and affected kidney(s), targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and sometimes chemotherapy. The treatment approach is determined by a healthcare team and depends on the cancer's stage and type.

3. The kidneys are a pair of bean
shaped organs located in the
abdomen. The function of the
kidneys is to filter the blood of
certain wastes creating urine.
Normally, cells in the kidneys that
are old or damaged will stop
dividing and die before they can
become cancerous. These cells are
normally replaced by healthy
young cells. Kidney cancer occurs
when old or damaged cells
continue to divide and multiply
uncontrollably
introduction

4. What is Kidney cancer
 KIDNEY(RENAL)CANCER
Kidney cell Malignant
Grow out of
control
Forming a
tumor

6. symptoms
 Blood in the urine
 Pain or pressure in the side or back
 A mass or lump in the side or back
 Swelling of the ankles and legs
 High blood pressure
 Anemia, which is a low red blood cell count
 Fatigue
 Loss of appetite
 Unexplained weight loss

7. stages
 stage 1
 stage 2
 stage 3
 stage 4

8. Stage 1
 ≤ 7cm tumor
 confined to kidney

10. Stage 2
 ≥7CM
 STILL CONFINED TO KIDNEY

12. Stage 4
 spreads more
extensively
 liver , lungs , bone ,
and brain

14. Types
MOST COMMON TYPES
 renal cell carcinoma
 transitional cell carcinoma
 wilms tumor

18. Treatment
 In cancer health care multidisciplinary team
 for kidney cancer urologist

19. Treatment types
 surgery
 targeted therapy
 immunotherapy
 radiation therapy
 chemo therapy

20. Surgery
 surgery is the removal of the tumor and some
surrounding healthy tissue during an operation
 if the cancer has not spread beyond the kidneys,
surgery to remove the tumor , part or all of the
kidney

22. Targeted therapy
 targeted therapy is a treatment that targets the
cancer’s specific genes, proteins, or the tissue
environment that contributes to cancer growth and
survival.
 this type of treatment blocks the growth and spread
of cancer cells while limiting damage to healthy cells.

23. Immuno therapy
 immunotherapy, also called biologic therapy, is
designed to boost the body's natural defenses to
fight cancer
 it uses materials made either by the body or in a
laboratory to improve, target, or restore immune
system function.
 centers with expertise in high-dose il-2 for kidney
cancer should recommend il-2.

24. Radiation therapy
 radiation therapy is the use of high-energy x-rays or
other particles to destroy cancer cells.
 for kidney cancer, internal radiation (brachy) therapy
is given using a hollow needle to insert radioactive
seeds directly into a tumor.

25. Chemo therapy
 chemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy cancer
cells
 although chemotherapy is useful for treating most
types of cancer, kidney cancer is often resistant to
chemotherapy.
