| Kidney cancer is also called hypernephroma or renal cancer. Kidneys are fist-sized peritoneum organs on either side of the backbone. The function of kidneys is to filter and clean your blood, taking out waste products and making urine. Usually, kidney cancer origins in the lining of tiny tubes. Kidney cancer doesn't have early symptoms. With the development of the cancer, frequent symptoms include blood in your urine, pain in your side, a lump in your abdomen and unexplained weight loss. Treatments include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or biologic therapy.
