Renal Cell Adenocarcinoma

Renal cell adenocarcinoma is the most common type of malignant tumor that arises in kidney tissue, from the cells that line the ducts responsible for filtering the blood.

Possible manifestations: In the early stages it may cause no symptoms; over time, blood in the urine, persistent pain in one side, or a feeling of a mass in the abdominal area may appear.

When to see a doctor? With blood in the urine without a clear cause, flank pain that does not go away, or unexplained weight loss, an evaluation is important.

Which specialist treats it? Its workup and follow-up fall to oncology, often in coordination with urology. Identifying these signs early and consulting a professional about them is key to an appropriate approach.
