Kidney cancer is an oncologic disease that occurs mostly in patients between 50 and 70 years of age. A carcinoma or tumor in the kidney is linked to several risk factors, but mainly to smoking. For urologists this is one of the most common ailments.

Among some related causes are also having had someone with kidney cancer; undergoing dialysis or hemodialysis due to renal failure; and probably high blood pressure, without this latter factor being fully demonstrated, but is associated with kidney cancer.

Kidney cancer: asymptomatic

Unfortunately, kidney cancer is asymptomatic in a first stage. Symptoms come when the tumor is usually at an advanced stage. Some of the manifestations in the patient is that he feels a mass in his abdomen, that is to say, an abnormal growth of the same. There is the presence of varicose veins in the testicles, which is called varicocele. Another sign is when there is a pain in the right side, which is not usual, so it is worth the person to be checked by a urologist. When the tumors are small the cure is possible and for its detection it is used to carry out clinical tests, clinical examination and, if necessary, is sent to make an ultrasound to verify and evaluate the kidneys. It is recommended to go to the urologist once a year.
