   Extractions: Several types of cancer can afflict the kidneys. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the most common form, accounts for approximately 85% of all kidney cancers. In RCC, malignant (cancerous) cells develop in the lining of the kidney's tubules and typically grow into a mass called a tumor. Single tumors are the norm, although more than one tumor can develop within one or both kidneys. Early diagnosis is critically important. As with most cancers, the earlier kidney tumors are discovered, the better a patient's chances for survival. Tumors discovered at an early stage often respond well to treatment. Survival rates in such cases are high. Tumors that have grown large or metastasized (spread) through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to other parts of the body are much more difficult to treat and present a greatly increased risk for mortality.

   Extractions: at the National Cancer Institute Carcinoma of the kidney affects some 27,000 individuals in the United States each year. Until recently relatively little attention was paid to the genetics and histology of renal carcinomas. In the past 10 years major advances have been made in the understanding of the genetic basis of human kidney cancer. The National Cancer Institute has become a leading center for research on the genetic basis of kidney cancer. We created this Web page to detail the research (with the very latest described in the "What's New" page), as well as the members of the multidisciplinary team of clinicians and scientists at the National Cancer Institute who study and treat patients with kidney cancer. We wish to inform the public of the Familial Kidney Tumor Program based at the National Cancer Institute in the hopes of encouraging persons having more than one family member afflicted with kidney cancer to register their families.

    Extractions: Please note that while the information contained here is based on a significant amount of research by me, I am not a doctor or health care professional, and you should check on the truth of what I say before staking your life on it. There are several different kinds of kidney cancer, but by far the most common is Renal Cell Cancer, which is also known as Renal Cell Carcinoma, or Hypernephroma. This page is about Renal Cell Cancer. If you have a different kind of kidney cancer, such as Wilm's Tumor (a childhood cancer) or Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Renal Pelvis (A rare type of kidney cancer which resembles bladder cancer in some ways) then the information in this page doesn't apply to you. Many patients are told simply that they have "kidney cancer," and while usually it's renal cell, you should check with your doctor to be sure before assuming this information applies to you. I want to tell you something about myself, and then give some information on kidney cancer and how to find out more. I was diagnosed with kidney cancer in late 1989, at age 32. I had my kidney out, and then a month later found that the cancer has spread to both lungs and multiple bones in my spine. After several weeks of frantically searching for options and stumbling awkwardly through the system, I found a clinical trial of High dose Interleukin-2, a powerful immune stimulant, combined with interferon alpha. I traveled across the country to get the treatment that I thought was best, and was very fortunate in that I have gained a long term remission from my disease. I have been well enough to return to work, get married, and climb the high peaks of the Colorado Rockies. Cancer is a strange and terrifying land but nonetheless my motto has become, "Anything can happen in this country." If you'd like to read about my experience in more detail, see

    Extractions: I also find wilderness survival stories very inspiring and relevant. Click here or scroll to the bottom of this page for some great recommendations. When I was very ill and things looked their worst, nothing was more inspiring to me than reading about how other patients survived against the odds and coped with their situations. There are as many different ways to survive as there are patients, and so we can learn something different from each one. At the same time certain similarities, certain patterns emerge. Enough philosophy - here are the stories of some other patients - I hope you find inspiration and hope in them! Actually just one more thing first! Perhaps you have a story to contribute. You need not be a "miracle cure" to contribute here - all you need is the desire to use your experiences to help someone else. So read my Story Guidelines and contribute your experience!
