Note: some of the information linked from this page is probably outdated. I will update this page with the latest on RCC soon. - Ameel

I found five resources extremely useful in finding out about RCC. If you want to learn about the disease, start with the National Cancer Institute's website followed by Steve Dunn's Cancer Guide (also go through his excellent list of resources as well as the Inspirational Patient Stories section).

CancerConsultants have more detailed information on the topic (including latest news and articles), while Cornell University's website is much more comprehensive while being much more technical. The fifth item is a research paper about immulogical therapies for RCC treatment. It's technical and hard to understand, but it tells you more than you'd need to know.
