Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer is often discovered on scans, and treatment depends on size, spread, and renal function.
Understanding Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer begins in the tissues of the kidney and may be found incidentally or after symptoms such as blood in urine.
At CI(WIA), treatment planning balances cancer control with preservation of kidney function wherever possible.
Some patients may need surgery alone, while others benefit from targeted therapy or immunotherapy.
