Kidney cancer, or renal cancer, is a form of cancer in which cancer cells grow in the tissues of the kidneys. These two bean-shaped organs, located on each side of the body above the waist, are responsible for filtering and cleaning blood, removing waste, and producing urine. Kidney cancer generally develops as one tumor in one kidney, but multiple tumors can be found in one kidney, or there can be tumors in both kidneys.
