Tumors can generally develop in the kidneys, and kidney tumors are usually malignant. If not treated promptly, they can spread and metastasize through the lymphatic system and bloodstream, adversely affecting other organs. Symptoms of kidney tumors include dull pain in the waist, palpable renal mass, and hematuria. Once diagnosed with a kidney tumor, early surgical treatment should be undertaken.
