📋Overview
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults, originating from the lining of the proximal convoluted tubule in the kidney. It is a malignant tumor that can invade local structures and metastasize to distant organs. RCC is the preferred modern term, replacing older or less specific labels such as hypernephroma or renal adenocarcinoma.
