Kidney cancer happens when normal cells in the kidney change into abnormal cells and grow out of control. People have 2 kidneys, 1 on each side of the mid-back. The kidneys' job is to filter the blood and remove waste and excess salt and water. Urine is made up of these ingredients.
What are the symptoms of kidney cancer? — Smaller kidney tumors do not always cause symptoms. But larger tumors and tumors that have spread outside the kidney can cause symptoms, such as:
These symptoms can also be caused by conditions that are not cancer. But if you have these symptoms, you should be checked by a doctor or nurse.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer that is developed in the prostate gland of a male reproductive system. In most of the cases prostate cancers grow slowly; however, some grow relatively quick, it might be possible that cancer cells may spread from the prostate to other parts of the body, majorly in the bones and nodes. As it develops slowly so initially it may cause no symptoms for many years but later it may lead to difficulties such as problem while urinating. Mostly this type of cancer occurs in men older than age 65.
The Prostate is a small gland that is located in a male’s lower abdomen; it is under the bladder that surrounds the urethra. This gland is regulated by the testosterone and produces seminal fluid, also known as semen.
If prostate cancer is detected early and is still confined to the prostate gland has better chances of a successful procedure.
Bladder cancer happens when normal cells in the bladder change into abnormal cells, and grow out of control.
What are the symptoms of bladder cancer? — Bladder cancer causes mild symptoms that can come and go. These include:
These symptoms can also be caused by conditions that are not bladder cancer. But if you have any of these symptoms, you should be checked by a doctor or nurse.
Yes. Doctors can use different types of tests to look for bladder cancer. These include:
How are bladder cancer treatment decisions made? — Once the diagnosis of bladder cancer is confirmed, the treatment depends on the cancer stage and grade. Cancer staging is a way in which doctors find out how far a cancer has spread. Grading refers to the way the cancer looks under the microscope. The right treatment for you will also depend on how old you are and whether you have any other medical problems.
