FAQs:
Common early signs include blood in urine, persistent flank pain, abdominal lumps, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. Early detection is critical for effective treatment.
Diagnosis involves imaging tests like ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, blood and urine tests, and sometimes a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells.
Treatments include partial or radical nephrectomy, minimally invasive surgery, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy, depending on stage and patient condition.
Early-stage kidney cancer can often be successfully treated with surgery. Advanced cases may require combination therapies to manage the disease.
Regular follow-up appointments, imaging tests, healthy lifestyle choices, and adherence to prescribed therapies reduce the risk of recurrence.
