Kidney cancer and polycystic kidney disease (PKD) are both conditions that affect the kidneys but are fundamentally different in their causes, characteristics, and implications for health. Kidney cancer involves the uncontrolled growth of cells in the kidneys, leading to tumor formation, while PKD is a genetic disorder characterized by the development of numerous cysts in the kidneys.

Understanding the distinctions between these two conditions is crucial for diagnosis, treatment, and management.
