How Can I Prevent Kidney Cancer?

Kidney cancer is a cancer that starts in the kidneys. These are 2 bean-shaped blood-filtering organs located in your lower back.

In some cases, you can prevent kidney cancer by being aware of what puts you at risk for it and then actively reducing the risks you have. Unfortunately, though, no simple test can catch kidney cancer early, and it causes few symptoms until the later stages. Still, it may be helpful to know the signs and symptoms of kidney cancer because it is easier to treat if you catch it early.
