Kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma) is caused by a relatively rare malignant tumour. The exact cause is unknown; the risk factors include, among other things, smoking, obesity and high blood pressure. Nowadays, the tumour is often discovered by chance, as it is initially asymptomatic. Otherwise, typical symptoms include blood in the urine and pain and pressure in the side. These symptoms should generally be discussed with the doctor.
