A member asked:
Can a person have advanced kidney cancer without having blood in the urine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Blood in the urine aka hematuria is only seen in 1/3rd of the cases of renal cell carcinoma. Most patients have no symptoms from renal cell carcinoma until it becomes very advanced and invades blood supply of the kidney.
