| Title: | Kidney Cancer Treatment. | Article: | How do they treat renal cancer?
Surgery is the main choice. Surgeon will do nephrectomy. Nephros=kidney. Ectomy =removal. They remove kidney and all the tissue around.
In some cases it possible to remove only part of kidney. However for kidney cancer it us usually not an option. Kidney requires a lot of blood, has a lot of blood vessels. It tends to bleed significantly if cut. That bleeding is very difficult to stop. Besides urine makes a lot of problem by leaking into surrounding tissue and leading eventually to infections. This is why they usually remove whole kidney.
Having only one kidney left, makes you vulnerable. The remaining kidney usually will compensate. It will grow bigger and produce more urine. Alas, it is still only one kidney left.
The removal of kidney cures you only if it is early stage. If tumor grows beyond the kidney capsule or metastasizes, you options include radiation therapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Interferon and interleukin 2 activate immune system. Doctors use them to treat renal cancer cases.
There are some other options exist. You should discuss the options with your doctor. Oncologist will give you more information for your particular case.
