Introduction
This National Cancer Institute (NCI) booklet (NIH Publication No. 03-1569) has important information about
cancer*
of the kidney. It discusses possible causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It also has information to help patients cope with kidney cancer.
Scientists are studying kidney cancer to learn more about this disease. They are finding out more about its causes, and doctors also are exploring new ways to treat it. This research keeps increasing our knowledge about kidney cancer. The NCI provides the most up-to-date information over the telephone and on the Internet:
Telephone: Information Specialists at NCI's Cancer Information Service at
1-800-4-CANCER can answer questions about cancer and can send materials published by NCI.
Internet: People can ask questions online and get immediate help through LiveHelp on the Internet. Many NCI booklets and fact sheets can be viewed at
http://cancer.gov/publications. People in the United States and its territories may use this Web site to order publications. This Web site also explains how people outside the United States can mail or fax their requests for NCI publications.
