What is renal cancer?

Renal cancer is a cancer in the Kidney. Any cancer in the kidney could be thought of as renal cancer. My Mom gave me one of hers for a transplant. Today I found out her brother ( my uncle) had part of one of his removed because of cancer in his kidney.
I tried to cheer him up asking if he had compared scares with my mom. He hadn't but laughed. Their mom and my sister both died of cancer. It worried me about my mom. Hope you have the best of health.
Just in case there are tests described here:
