Kidney Cancer Treatment

In Karol Bagh, Delhi

Kidney cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the kidneys, the organs responsible for filtering waste from the blood. Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type, and many kidney cancers are now detected incidentally during imaging for other conditions.

Symptoms

Symptoms may include blood in the urine, persistent back or side pain, a lump in the abdomen, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue.

Causes

Risk factors include smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, family history, and certain inherited genetic conditions. Long-term dialysis and exposure to certain workplace chemicals may also increase risk.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis typically involves imaging such as ultrasound, CT, or MRI, along with urine and blood tests. A biopsy may be performed in certain cases to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment

Treatment options include surgery, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and in some cases radiation therapy, depending on the stage. M|O|C Cancer Care Center in Karol Bagh, Delhi, provides expert, comprehensive kidney cancer care tailored to each patient's needs.
