KIDNEY CANCER.
The presence of kidney cancer is rarely discovered. When you have reached a serious stage that was in stage four then it is successful in effect. This situation may be due to kidney cancer are not 'stand out' as breast cancer is often a crowd to cause any individual who is not so ignore the disease.

EARLY SIGNS OF EXPERIENCE RCC
* Urinary bleeding (hematuria)
* Pain in the ribs
* Back pain
* There is a lump on the rib cage and abdomen
* Loss of appetite
* Weight loss
* Fever
* Excessive fatigue
* Increased blood pressure
However, in Malaysia is still low rate of people with RCC. 85 percent of reported cases are mostly found in men aged 60 to 70 years.
An estimated 100,000 patients died of RCC diagnosed worldwide each year. Surgery is the most common treatment. Typically, the surgeon will remove the entire kidney along with the adrenal gland and kidney tissue in sekeling. It aims to prevent the cancer returned to attack but he can not guarantee the effectiveness of the process because 33 percent of patients will suffer from the cancer returned.
Surgery is only performed on stage kidney cancer patients one to three only. For the suffering RCC, it needed another form of treatment because the cancer cells have spread to other organs. What is needed is a way to curb the spread of cancer cells and slow the growth of cancer cells from spreading.
The Chinese community is suffering more. Is not clear exactly causes it happened. Those who have unhealthy lifestyles, obesity, high blood pressure and smoking are the most vulnerable groups for RCC.
But now there is a new form of treatment for patients with RCC using a Torisel (temsirolimus), but it has side effects such as rashes, fatigue, sore mouth, nausea, swelling of body, poor appetite, increased pressure of sugar and high cholesterol.
