Can kidney cancer kill person

Answer 1

Cancer turns normal cells into abnormal cells in a primary organ site. These abnormal cells proliferate--- increase in that organ. But cancer can metastasize, which means that new cancer cells show up in a different part of the body. For example, a friend of mine who enjoyed playing Golf had a tiny dark spot on his forehead. A doctor removed it and tests said the tissue was benign, which means not cancerous. Nearly 20 years later, he developed melanoma in the fat tissues that lay over the abdomen. Docs could not explain it since melanoma is a skin cancer, and he forgot about the forehead spot from years ago, When I reminded him about the forehead spot, it all made sense-- cells from there had metastasized to the abdominal tissues. After 1 year of experimental treatments, he is dying.

Cancer kills by changing how a body organ functions. It makes normal cells into slave cells, plus causes symptoms that are annoying, painful, and life-threatening. For example, overnight, my friend's abdomen swelled-- the fluid was inside the fat cells, which is different from ascites. Within a few days, he had trouble breathing because the belly put so much pressure on his lungs. Within another week, he became too weak to stand or to walk. New scans showed a small spot in his brain and in his lungs. He is not expected to live more than 6 months.
