Kidney Cancer

The American Cancer Society’s most recent estimates for kidney cancer in the United States for 2024 are about 81,610 new cases (52,380 in men and 29,230 in women) will be diagnosed, and about 14,390 people (9,450 men and 4,940 women) will die from this disease (these numbers include all types of kidney and renal pelvis cancers).

Most people with kidney cancer are older. The average age of people when they are diagnosed is 65, with most people being diagnosed between ages 55 and 74. Kidney cancer is uncommon in people younger than age 45.

Kidney cancer is about twice as common in men than in women, and it is more common in African American, American Indian, and Alaska Native people.
