question 68 renal cell carcinoma occurs in which kidney cells? a glomerular cells b cortex cells c renal pelvis cells d tubule cells
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a type of cancer that originates from the cells of the renal tubules. The renal tubules are part of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney. RCC is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults. Glomerular cells are involved in filtration, cortex is a region (not a specific cell type for this cancer origin in the context of the name - cell carcinoma referring to tubule cells here), and renal pelvis cells are related to transitional cell carcinomas (not RCC).
