How is kidney cancer diagnosed?

The actual diagnosis of kidney cancer is made by looking at a sample of kidney cells in the lab or sometimes by how the kidney looks on an imaging test. If you think you have possible signs or symptoms of kidney cancer, see your doctor.

Does kidney cancer spread quickly?

In some people in whom the kidney cancer has spread, the cancer might be growing so slowly that the right first option is to watch carefully. This is especially the case when the cancer has been discovered by accident. If the cancer starts to grow quickly or cause symptoms then active treatments will be recommended.

Is Kidney cancer aggressive??

There are kidney tumors that don't fit in any of the other categories. This is because these tumors have more than one cell type visible under a microscope. These tumors are rare, accounting for only 3 to 5 percent of RCC tumors, but they can be quite aggressive and require prompt treatment.
