Butterfly of LifeŽ supports Kidney Cancer with a padparadscha sapphire. The most common type of kidney cancer is called renal cell cancer. It accounts for more than 9 out of 10 cases of kidney cancer. While there are other types of kidney tumors, the information that follows refers only to renal cell cancer. Like all cancers, kidney cancer begins small and grows larger over time. It usually grows as a single mass within the kidney. But a kidney can have more than one tumor. Sometimes tumors are found in both kidneys at the same time. The cancer might be found only after it has become very large. Most of the time it is found before it has spread to other organs through the bloodstream.
