This year it is estimated that 30,000 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with kidney cancer and 12,000 will die of the disease. The California Kidney Cancer Center was founded to make new and advanced forms of therapy for kidney cancer readily available in Northern California.

Kidney cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the cells in the kidney.

The two most common types of kidney cancer are renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) of the renal pelvis. These names reflect the type of cell from which the cancer developed.

The different types of kidney cancer (such as RCC and UCC) develop in different ways, meaning that the diseases have different outlooks (or prognosis), and need to be staged and treated in different ways. RCC is responsible for approximately 80% of primary renal cancers, and UCC accounts the majority of the remainder (20%).

Cancer in general can be impacted by various factors including stress, poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle.  One way to decrease the possibility of contracting cancer in its various forms is to eat raw, organic vegetables.  Juicing vegetables is a great way to accomplish this.  One source for juicing vegetable recipes is a book written by Drew Canole and available on Amazon.com.

There is quite a bit of evidence and discussion in the medical community about how proper nutrients and vitamins can really help to not only prevent anomalies in the body but also help to keep it strong.  One of the best sources of Vitamin C is Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C from Golden Tiger which is concentrated and also has a much higher consumption rate once ingested.
