What Is Kidney Cancer?

[Darragh]

Kidney cancer? is not a disease per se, but rather is a group of cancers that arise form different parts of the kidney tubules. Recently, a panel of experts convened a consensus conference in Heidelberg, Germany. The Heidelberg classification was devised based on a number of well-recognized parameters. Kidney cancers were divided into the following subtypes: Common or conventional renal cell carcinoma, papillary renal cell carcinoma, chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, collecting duct carcinoma (including medullary carcinoma), and renal cell carcinoma, which cannot be classified. http://www.kidneycancerinstitute.com/wha...
