The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located just below the rib cage, one on each side of your spine. Healthy kidneys filter blood to remove waste and extra water to make urine. Kidney cancer, also known as renal cell carcinoma or RCC, forms when healthy cells in one or both kidneys grow out of control. March is Kidney Cancer Awareness Month.

In localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a tumor’s ability to use carbon from glucose to feed the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle predicts cancer spread beyond the lung, months to years before metastases are clinically apparent. According to this new research from Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) published in Cancer Discovery, tumors with this metabolic activity result in early patient death.
