Kidney CancerBy: Carlos Ayala

Standards I Used

6c Students know how fluctuations in population size in an ecosystem are determined by the relative rates of birth, immigration, emigration, and death.

-This standard goes with my topic because in this power point you will see how population and family history can affect you if you have kidney problems or not.

9f Students know the individual functions and sites of secretion of digestive enzymes (amylases, proteases, nucleases, lipases), stomach acids, and bile salts.

- This relates to my PowerPoint because it says how site of the digestive system which includes the kidneys and how they work and this shows you what can happen if they are bad and how you can keep them healthy.

Death Rate of Kidney Cancer

Like I said earlier about 64,770 people end up getting Kidney Cancer and of that total of people who get this cancer, but 13,570 people end up dying of Kidney Cancer. Most people who get this cancer are old and it is not common for a person who is under the age of 45 to get it. The risk is not getting about 1 in 67, and the risk in higher in men than women.

Preventions

Some ways that people can prevent Kidney Cancer is if the smoke they should quit because smoking is one of the main problem why people get this cancer. Also if you are obesity or high blood pressure and are factors and if you are you can lose some weight and it might help. If you have that you should stay in a good healthy meals and simply stay healthy.

How Kidney Cancer Can Be Cured

Some cures for Kidney Cancer are surgery, radical nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, “keyhole” surgery, removal of metastases, arterial embolization, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, biologic therapy, hormone therapy, pain control, and etc.. These are mostly through surgery and depends the type you have and the stage.

PicturesIn this picture it shows the kidney and then the huge

tumor that is growing right next to it.

PicturesLike you saw above this picture show the stages

from were it begins. Stage 1 shows when the tumor is small but then when

you start to move up like to stage 3 it shows that the substance starts to

move up the vein. Then at stage 4 the substance

starts to separate and the little particles go up the

vein.
