An Overview of Adult Kidney Cancer?
While there are many different forms of cancer that affect the kidneys, the most common ones, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology, are renal cell carcinomas which are the most common, and transitional cell carcinomas of the renal pelvis. They estimate that in 2011, nearly 61,000 adults will be diagnosed with one of these two forms of renal cancer in the United States, and the majority of those will be older men. Five years after diagnosis, nearly 70 percent of those will still be alive. According to the American Cancer Society, the number of people diagnosed with kidney cancer has been slowly increasing since the 1970s, but that does not mean that the number of cases has actually been increasing. New diagnostic procedures have made it possible to find cancers that previously would never have been detected, and this is supported by the fact that death rates have been decreasing. CAT scans and MRIs find tumors at an earlier stage making them far more treatable, and improving survival rates. About half of these newly diagnosed cancers are localized, or confined to the kidney itself, and therefore easily treated by removing the kidney, while the other half of patients will experience some metastases, or spread of the cancer. Again, this is an improvement attributable to better diagnostic measures. In the 1980s, nearly 80% of newly-diagnosed patients had advanced kidney cancer. Today, thanks to better detection methods, just half that number will have advanced cancers when their tumor is found. Treatment will always depend on the kind of cancer diagnosed and the stage of its development or spread. Specific causes of kidney cancer are unknown, although certain forms are known to have a familial or genetic component, and things like smoking, high blood pressure and exposure to some chemicals have been found to have a correlation. Most adult kidney cancer is diagnosed in people over the age of 55, but it can occur in people of any age. Common signs of renal cancer are a palpable mass in the abdomen, which is the most common sign, abdominal pain, blood in the urine, and a distended and dilated kidney. However, blood in the urine and abdominal pain are also symptoms of kidney stones, and only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis based on appropriate and thorough exams and testing.

Is a cystic mass in the mouth an oral cancer symptom?
A cystic mass in the mouth does not necessarily mean that it is an oral cancer symptom. This could be swollen glands due to an infection of some kind in your throat or ears. This could also mean you are having tonsil problems. You should let a doctor diagnose this as soon as possible, and in most cases, you can get relief with antibiotics.
