Kidney Cancer
Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer surgery is a crucial treatment option for removing cancerous tumors from the kidneys. The kidneys play an essential role in filtering blood and producing urine, and early detection and surgical intervention are key to improving outcomes for patients diagnosed with kidney cancer.
When is Kidney Cancer Surgery Needed?
Kidney cancer surgery may be recommended for:
- Renal Cell Carcinoma: The most common type of kidney cancer that requires tumor removal.
- Transitional Cell Carcinoma: Cancer that originates in the lining of the urinary system, including the kidneys.
- Kidney Tumors: Removal of benign or malignant tumors based on size and location.
Types of Kidney Cancer Surgeries
- Partial Nephrectomy:
- Removal of the tumor along with a small margin of healthy kidney tissue.
- Preserves kidney function and is often performed when cancer is detected early.
- Radical Nephrectomy:
- Complete removal of the affected kidney, surrounding tissue, and nearby lymph nodes.
- Typically performed for larger tumors or more advanced cancer.
- Laparoscopic Nephrectomy:
- Minimally invasive approach using small incisions and specialized instruments.
- Offers quicker recovery times and less postoperative pain compared to open surgery.
- Cryoablation or Radiofrequency Ablation:
- Minimally invasive techniques that destroy tumors using extreme cold or heat.
- Suitable for small tumors and patients who may not tolerate traditional surgery.
Symptoms Indicating a Need for Surgery
- A noticeable lump or mass in the side or lower back.
- Blood in urine (hematuria).
- Persistent back pain that doesn’t go away.
- Unexplained weight loss or fatigue.
