About kidney cancer
There are two main types of kidney cancer. The most common are renal cell cancers (RCC) and the second most common type are transitional cell cancers (TCC). Kidney cancer usually only affects one kidney, but rarely it can affect both kidneys. Kidney cancer is more common in men than women, and the risk of developing it increases with age.
Need to know
There are different types of knee sprain, each with their own set of symptoms. Generally speaking, the common symptoms are:
- pain, tenderness or weakness inside or around the knee
- difficulty putting weight on it
- cramping or muscle spasms
Your consultant will discuss your symptoms with you and help to make a diagnosis.
Ligament sprains are graded from one to three to reflect the extent of your injury. Your prescribed treatment may depend on the grade of your sprain. For example, you may be asked to perform mobility exercises for grade two sprains, while grade three sprains may require surgery. Your consultant will explain which treatment is best for you.
