RCC (renal cell carcinoma)

Renal cell carcinoma is a cancer that occurs in the kidneys. It originates from the proximal convoluted tube, which is responsible for the primary transport of urine. This is a well-known disease since more than 90% of cancer cases in adults are due to CRC.

This is one of the most dangerous diseases affecting adults due to the body’s ability to hide symptoms very well. The most common symptoms are malaise, high blood pressure and fever, and weight loss. As it is clear that the above symptoms can be due to various reasons, people do not take them seriously. The most serious symptom when people seek medical attention is the passage of blood in the urine. Therefore, this disease can spread largely without people being aware of its presence.

major causes

Since RCC is a cancer of the kidneys, most causes are related to lifestyle that affects the kidneys. Smoking and obesity are some of the main reasons behind the origins of RCC in a person.

Apart from lifestyle choices, occupational hazards also play an important role in this. If a person is exposed to harmful chemicals like asbestos, lead, petrochemicals and many more due to his occupation, then he has a high chance of developing this disease. However, a contradiction has been found in that people who consume alcohol in a moderate or controlled amount are more protected from developing this cancer.

After much research, it has been found that no genetic reason causes CRC. Parents with acquired kidney disease are not strictly responsible for their children developing CRC. More than 50% of RCC cases are due to lifestyle choices and the rest are due to occupational exposure to harmful toxins and chemicals.

Diagnosis of the disease

Another important aspect of RCC is a difficult diagnosis. As already mentioned, the more the cancer spreads, the more difficult it becomes to cure it. Now, detecting cancer at an early stage has also been found to be difficult. The sure test is to see some presence of a mass or enlargement of a nearby organ, but that may be too late.

The most effective and commonly used methods for diagnosing renal cell carcinoma are computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound. It is necessary to have a proper diagnosis of this disease because renal cell carcinoma is not a single growth but a collection of different tumors. Therefore, it can spread quickly and damage not only the kidneys, but also nearby organs.

Treatment of the disease with immunotherapy

Chemotherapy is the most widely used treatment for cancer of any type, but it is common knowledge that it comes with a number of very serious side effects. Many people, especially older people, can have serious side effects from undergoing chemotherapy. Therefore, more importance is being given to immunotherapy to treat cancer.

The main effect of cancer growth is the regression of a person’s immune system. The best way to fight a disease is by strengthening the body’s immune system. Immunotherapy focuses on this aspect and uses specific drugs to strengthen the immune system to resist cancer growth.
