Causes of renal cell carcinoma

summary

My father was very strong when he was young, and he used to exercise when he was old. But a few months ago, he suddenly felt sick, swollen all over, and his weight dropped sharply. He suffered from abdominal pain. Later, he was found to have kidney cancer. Now he is undergoing comprehensive treatment in the hospital. Many people have no idea about the causes of renal cancer. Now let me share with you some of what I know.

Causes of renal cell carcinoma

First, most patients with renal cancer have a history of smoking. Smoking is a definite risk factor for the disease. The incidence rate of renal cell carcinoma is significantly higher in those who smoke directly from tobacco or cigars. Obesity is also a risk factor for kidney cancer, especially in women. Environmental and occupational factors are also associated with renal cancer. The incidence rate of renal cancer is higher among leather leathers, shoemaking workers and asbestos workers. Patients with acquired renal cysts in end-stage renal disease are prone to develop renal cancer.

Secondly, contact with some industries may lead to renal cancer, and patients' illness may also be related to their own work. Some patients are workers who often contact metal shops, newspaper printing workers, coke workers, dry cleaning workers and petrochemical workers, and the risk of renal cancer and death increases.

Finally, the causes of some renal cell carcinoma are not clear. Renal cell carcinoma is mainly caused by insufficient kidney qi, water dampness, endogenous dampness toxin, or external dampness heat toxin, internal febrile toxin, and internal and external Hefei evil knot in waterway. Kidney deficiency can not take blood but hematuria, waist is the house of kidney, kidney deficiency is lumbago, dampness heat toxin, qi stagnation and blood stasis for a long time to form a mass. Modern medicine has also been unclear about the etiology of renal cell carcinoma and renal pelvic carcinoma. It is believed that it may be related to the long-term stimulation of carcinogenic substances, such as the high incidence rate of renal cancer among smokers. Incidence of renal pelvic carcinoma and incidence rate of renal pelvis is also increased with the long-term use of non acetanilide drugs for relieving pain and antipyretic fever. Long term renal calculi and infection can induce epithelial metaplasia and atypical hyperplasia, the latter two can develop into cancer.

matters needing attention

Patients with renal cancer should be treated with radiotherapy. During radiotherapy, the general physique is easy to decline, and diet should be paid more attention to. During radiotherapy, kidney Yin is deficient. It is suitable to nourish kidney yin, nourish blood and generate fluid. Fresh fruits and vegetables, such as spinach, apple, pear, longan meat, walnut kernel, wolfberry, tremella soup, etc. should be selected.
