Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer is cancer that begins in the kidneys. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They're located behind the abdominal organs, with one kidney on each side of the spine.
Kidney Cancer treatment usually begins with surgery to remove cancer. For cancers confined to the kidney, this may be the only treatment needed. If cancer has spread beyond the kidney, additional treatments may be recommended.
The right doctor to consult for kidney cancer is a Nephrologist along with an Oncologist.
To detect Kidney Cancer tests such as Blood tests, Urine tests, Imaging tests like ultrasound, X-ray, CT, MRI, etc, or sometimes a biopsy is required.
The 5-year survival rate for people with kidney cancer is between 70-75%.
