Kidney Cancer
In the U.S., kidney (renal) cancer accounts for about 3% of all cancers, with approximately 12,000 kidney cancer deaths each year.

• Renal cell carcinoma is a radioresistant tumor, but radiation treatment of brain mets improves quality of life, local control and overall survival duration.
• The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 51,190 cases of kidney cancer in 1007. More than 240,000 kidney cancer survivors are living in the U.S. right now.
