An expert has shared the early signs of kidney cancer that you cannot afford to ignore
A report from Kidney Cancer UK, published earlier this year, showed that almost all cases of the disease are accidentally noticed.
This means that patients are only diagnosed when they have a scan for a non -related disorder or in a department of emergency department.
Only one in five patients who were questioned by the charity said their condition was noticed because they were sent for relevant tests by their doctor.
Risk factors for cancer are smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease or family history.
Treatment can include surgery, cryotherapy, radio frequency ablation, targeted medicines, radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
But individual treatment plans depend on what kind of cancer you have, where it is, how big it is, if it has spread and your general health.
