Renal Cell Carcinoma (Kidney Cancer) Support Group

Renal cell carcinoma, also known by a gurnistical tumor, is the most common form of kidney cancer arising from the renal tubule. It is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults. Initial therapy is with surgery. It is notoriously resistant to radiation therapy and chemotherapy, although some cases respond to immunotherapy.

I wanted to ask you all if it's common to pass blood clots with RCC? This afternoon, at work I passed one when I urinated. There really was no pain with it, but it was a little concerning. I've had blood before, that's what sent me to the doc, but not a clot until now.
Thanks in advance for your input.

This happened to my hubby also, but his caused a lot of pain before it passed (sent him to the ER). I would make sure that you talk with your doctor to determine if anything needs to be done. - Karen

Hi Bev821,

I don't have any advice on this issue except to say that I agree with kkzimm. I also want to add that I am hoping this isn't a serious complication for you.

Wishing you all the best,
Linda
