Renal Cell Carcinoma

Kidney cancer, also known as renal cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the cells in the kidney.

 

The two most common types of kidney cancer are renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and transitional cell carcinoma (TCC, also known as urothelial cell carcinoma) of the renal pelvis. These names reflect the type of cell from which the cancer developed.
