Kidney Cancer Alliance Takes Action! Members Urged to Take Action Now to Increase Research Funding (PRWEB) May 24, 2004 -- Members of the Kidney Cancer Association (KCA) have joined One Voice Against Cancer (OVAC) in urging Congress to take action to cure kidney cancer and other deadly diseases by significantly increasing federal funding for programs that benefit cancer patients and their families. KCA Volunteer Governmental Affairs Committee Chair, Sarah Wise, says in Fiscal Year 2005, Congress should take action to provide: • $30.25 billion for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) ($2.37 billion increase). We appreciate the Congressional and Presidential commitment to privatizing research on health matters, demonstrated by the five year commitment to double the NIH budget. While appreciative of the hard work that went into achieving last year's 3% increase at NIH, KCA is concerned that dramatic drops in investment ...

Kidney cancer The kidneys are part of the urinary system. The human body has two kidneys, one on either side of the middle of the back, just under the ribs. The kidneys: • Remove waste products from the blood. • Produce hormones that regulate blood pressure, control the body's calcium levels, and trigger the production of red blood cells in bones. Around 85 per cent of kidney cancers are renal cell carcinomas. Cancer cells initially grow in the lining of one or both kidneys. Without treatment, the cancer may spread to other areas of the body. Kidney cancer is more common in people over the age of 55 years. It is more common in men than women. About 500 Victorians are diagnosed with kidney cancer every year. Symptoms In its early stages, kidney cancer may have no symptoms. The disease may be discovered by accident, when the ...

Kidney Cancer (Renal Cancer ) What are the kidneys? The two kidneys lie to the sides of the upper abdomen (the loins), behind the intestines, and either side of the spine. Each kidney is about the size of a large orange, but bean-shaped. A large renal artery takes blood to each kidney . The artery divides into many tiny blood vessels (capillaries) throughout the kidney . Tiny structures in the kidneys called nephrons 'filter' the blood contained in the capillaries. Water and waste materials which filter through the walls of the capillaries into the nephrons form urine. Urine passes along thin channels (tubules) which are part of each nephron, into larger channels (ducts) which drain the urine into the renal pelvis (the inner part of the kidney ). Urine passes down a tube called a ureter which goes from each kidney to the bladder. Urine is stored ...
