Kidney Cancer

Understanding

Causes and Risk factors

Genetic Mutations

Genetic changes or mutations in kidney cells can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, resulting in cancer.

Family History

Family history of kidney cancer raises risk. Inherited conditions like Von Hippel-Lindau disease can further increase this risk.

Smoking

Smoking doubles the risk of kidney cancer as harmful chemicals in cigarettes damage kidney cells.

Obesity raises kidney cancer risk by causing hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance, which may contribute to cancer development.

Obesity

High Blood Pressure

Chronic high blood pressure raises kidney cancer risk by damaging the kidneys over time, potentially causing cancerous cell changes.

Exposure to Certain Chemicals

Prolonged exposure to chemicals like trichloroethylene and environmental toxins increases the risk of kidney cancer.
