It is most commonly diagnosed in the elderly (especially in people over 75 years of age). Initial treatment is most commonly either partial or complete removal of the affected kidney(s). Where the cancer has not metastasised (spread to other organs) or burrowed deeper into the tissues of the kidney, the five-year survival rate is 65–90%, but this is lowered considerably when the cancer has spread. The body is remarkably good at hiding the symptoms and as a result people with RCC often have advanced disease by the time it is discovered. The initial symptoms of RCC often include haematuria, blood in the urine ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
