Kidney cancer is a disease in which kidney cells become malignant (cancerous) and grow out of control and form a tumor. Almost all kidney cancers first appear in the lining of small tubes (tubules) in the kidney. This type of kidney cancer is called renal cell carcinoma. The good news is that most kidney cancers are found before they spread (metastasize) to distant organs. And cancers that are detected early are easier to treat successfully. However, these tumors can get quite large before they are detected.


The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located in your lower abdomen on either side of your spine. Their main job is to clean your blood, remove waste products and make urine.


Treatment BeterKlinic

BeterKliniek is the clinic for Integrative Medicine that bridges regular and non-regular medicine.

An van Veen (physician) and Michael van Gils (therapist) look for the cause of a condition or disease. That is where the treatment starts otherwise, as people often say, it is 'carrying water to the sea'. We call this cause medicine. Sometimes it is also desirable to treat the symptoms (at the same time). We call this symptom medicine.

Chronic disorders often have their cause in epi- genetics. You can schedule a free informative telephone consultation (phone number 040-7117337 until 1 p.m.) at BeterKliniek to discuss your symptoms so that we can provide you with further advice.
