Abstract
Cancer is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, it is produced by the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells in a multiple stages process that can progress to a precancerous lesion to a malignant tumor that can spread through the blood and lymphatic system causing metastasis. The incidence of kidney cancer seems to be increasing, in adults, it begins in the kidneys and can spread to the entire urinary tract that surrounds distant organs or places, renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer and represents approximately 90 percent of cancers tumors.
 The present study evidences the case of a patient who comes to medical services when the problem shows symptoms.
 Objective - To describe the renal cancer case of a patient with papillary transitional cell carcinoma who was operated to remove a kidney tumor in order to prevent it from triggering in severe states.
 Method - The literature on cancer and cancer patients has been reviewed, in the urinary system the data of a case that generated kidney tumor surgery performed in a 63-year-old female patient has been reviewed.
 Result - High-grade, non-invasive papillary transitional cell carcinoma (UROTELIAL) can occur, in patients altering the quality of life of people, if it is detected and treated in time complications can be avoided
 Conclusion - It is essential to identify the risk factors and possible causes that can trigger this type of pathology, the information collected is expected to be useful to professionals and to contribute as an alert to detect health problems in patients early.
Highlights
Cancer is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It presents with a process of growth, proliferation and abnormal and uncontrolled dissemination of cells, which have a high capacity to invade organs, tissues and spread through the blood and lymphatic system for this reason can appear virtually anywhere in the body [1]
The incidence of kidney cancer appears to be increasing, in adults, it begins in the kidneys and can spread to the entire urinary tract surrounding organs or to distant places, The World Health Organization classification published in 2004 recognizes 49 different types of renal neoplasia [7]
Information was collected on a case of kidney cancer that was treated with surgery. 63-year-old patient, with no history of this pathology in his family, no smoking or alcohol consumption
Summary
Cancer is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It presents with a process of growth, proliferation and abnormal and uncontrolled dissemination of cells, which have a high capacity to invade organs, tissues and spread through the blood and lymphatic system for this reason can appear virtually anywhere in the body [1]. In 2000 it was the first cause of death in Spain, 25.6% of the total. According to the World Health Organization, 13% of total deaths in the world (7.6 million in 2008) are due to this cause. The most common causes of cancer death were lung cancer (1.6 million deaths), liver cancer (745,000 deaths) and stomach cancer (723,000 deaths). The most common causes of cancer death were lung cancer (1.6 million deaths), liver cancer (745,000 deaths) and stomach cancer (723,000 deaths). [2,3]
