In addition, the disease can manifest itself through pain in the lower back or side, which become intense with the development of the tumor process. Also, constant swelling of the legs or systemic intoxication of the body, which is expressed in unreasonable weight loss, weakness and subfebrile fever, may indicate the presence of kidney cancer.
