What tissues does kidney cancer affect?
Kidney cancer primarily affects the tissues of the kidneys. The kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering blood, removing waste products, and regulating fluid balance in the body. The two main types of kidney cancer are renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), also known as urothelial cell carcinoma. The most common type is renal cell carcinoma. Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC): RCC originates in the lining of the small tubes (tubules) within the kidney. These tubules are part of the nephrons, the functional units of the kidneys. RCC accounts for the majority of kidney cancer cases (about 85-90%). Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC): TCC affects the renal pelvis, which is the part of the kidney where urine collects before moving into the ureter. TCC is less common than RCC and is more closely associated with cancers of the urinary system, such as bladder cancer. The tissues affected by kidney cancer can include: Renal Parenchyma: This is the functional tissue of the kidney, comprising the cortex and medulla. It is where the nephrons, responsible for filtering the blood and producing urine, are located. Renal Tubules: These small tubes within the nephrons are involved in the reabsorption and secretion of substances to maintain proper fluid and electrolyte balance. Renal Pelvis: In cases of transitional cell carcinoma, the cancer may affect the lining of the renal pelvis, which is the funnel-shaped structure that collects urine before it moves into the ureter.
What type of skin cancer is the most common type?
basal cell carcinoma according to medicinenet.com
