Early detection and diagnosis:

Early detection plays a vital role in the successful management of kidney cancer. Although there are no specific screening tests for kidney cancer in asymptomatic people, it is important to watch for potential signs and symptoms, such as blood in the urine, flank pain, or a palpable mass in the kidney area. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to see your doctor for a full evaluation.

Treatment Options:

Treatment options for kidney cancer depend on several factors, including the stage of the cancer, general health, and individual preferences. Some common options include:

Surgery: Partial or radical nephrectomy may be needed to remove the tumor or the affected kidney.
Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy is sometimes used to kill cancer cells that have left the kidney or to reduce symptoms.
Targeted therapy: Specific drugs can attack cancer cells with specific gene mutations.
Immunotherapy: This option stimulates the immune system to fight cancer cells.
