It's still unknown what is the cause for Kidney Cancer, however there are factors that increases the risk:

- Age (between 50 and 70 years of age)

- Gender (men are more prone than women)

- Race (African Americans and chinese)

- Smoking

These symptoms might include:

- Anaemia

- Back pain

- Blood in the urine (could also be a sign of other diseases)

- Fatigure

- Fever

- Flank pain

- Lump on one side of the tummy

- Weight loss

Treatment shows effective if there is early detection. Treatment includes:

- Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy, a minimally invasive surgery to absolutely remove the affected parts of the kidney (higher chance of being cured)

During the later stages of Kidney Cancer, treatment option can include:

- Immunotherapy to combat cancer cells by involving the body's immune system

- Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy to block bleeding and pain from cancer

- Radiation Therapy is performed to alleviate pain and to block the bleeding from cancer (though might not be effective)

- Targeted Therapy is carried out by using agents to stop blood supply to cancer cells
