Kidney Cancer

According to the Mayo Clinic, kidney cancer rarely causes signs or symptoms in its early stages.

However, in the later stages, the most common sign of both renal cell and transitional cell cancers is blood in the urine (hematuria).

Among smokers age 35 to 69 smoking accounts for a three fold increase in the death rate, and approximately half of all regular smokers that begin smoking during adolescence will be killed by tobacco.
