Aggressive: Kidney cancer is generally aggressive. There are varying degrees of aggressiveness which is determined by biopsy after the kidney is removed. Untreated aggressive kidney cancer is usually fatal. The treatment of choice is surgery.

Depends: Most kidney tumors i see in my practice are low to medium grade. If diagnosed when small, there is good chance of cure. Some very exciting new drugs have been approved for kidney cancers in the past few years.
