Saving hundreds of thousands of people every year is now possible. All this thanks to the successful research of scientists.

Scientists from the Beth Israel Medical Center in the United States have proven there is a way to recognize kidney cancer five years before diagnosis - through a blood test..

In the body of cancer patients or those who may become them in the future, there is a protein molecule KIM-1. When taking a human blood test, this molecule can be detected earlier in order to immediately begin treatment before the development of the disease begins.

Every year, kidney cancer is found in 330,000 people around the globe.. Experts are confident that their method is a huge breakthrough in the fight against one of the most dangerous types of cancer.. Indeed, when analyzing blood, it will be clear who has a higher or lower level of danger - all thanks to the KIM-1 biomarker.

Kidney cancer is an oncological disease that results in the formation of a malignant tumor.. The disease develops most often in men - twice as many cases were recorded. Also with excess weight, at a more mature age - from 50 years old, as well as when exposed to chemicals. Treated with surgery, but it varies. With radical nephrectomy - complete removal of the kidneys or adrenal gland, and lymph nodes may also suffer. And with partial nephrectomy - removal of only malignant neoplasms with surrounding tissues.
