Kidney cancer treatment means using medicine, surgery, or other methods to remove or control cancer in one or both kidneys.
Doctors may also call this renal cancer treatment. Some patients refer to it as kidney tumour treatment or treatment for kidney growth. All of these terms point to the same thing: the care given to stop harmful cells from spreading in the kidneys.
Some people may think What is a kidney tumour? A kidney tumour is an abnormal growth of cells in the kidney. These can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). The most common type of kidney cancer is renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which usually develops in adults. Only cancerous tumours grow and spread to other parts of the body.
Treatment of kidney tumours depends on the size of the tumour, how much it has spread, and the overall health of the patient. Surgery is the most common approach, either removing just the tumour (partial nephrectomy) or the entire kidney (radical nephrectomy). In advanced cases, targeted therapy or immunotherapy may be used, while chemotherapy plays a limited role. Treatment aims to remove the cancer or stop it from spreading. Doctors choose the method based on what is safest and most effective for each person.
Kidney cancer treatment is needed when harmful cells grow in the kidneys. These cells can form tumours and may spread to other parts of the body. Early treatment helps stop the cancer and protect kidney function.
The main causes of kidney cancer are:
Kidney cancer does not always cause symptoms in the early stages. Many people find out during a test for another health issue. But as the tumour grows, some clear signs can appear.
Common symptoms:
These symptoms do not always mean cancer. But if they last more than a few days, a doctor may suggest tests to check for kidney problems or a tumour.
If a tumour is found and confirmed as cancer, treatment is usually started to stop it from growing or spreading. The sooner the cancer is found, the better the results after treatment.
To prevent kidney cancer, one should avoid smoking, maintain a healthy weight, drink enough water, control blood pressure and stay active.
These symptoms lead to treatment after tests confirm that the cause is a kidney tumour or cancer. A doctor may suggest:
If the tests show that there is cancer in the kidney, treatment usually starts quickly. Early treatment gives the best results, especially if the cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.

Success in kidney cancer treatment means the cancer is removed or controlled, and the patient can return to a normal or near-normal life.
According to Cancer Research UK,
If kidney cancer is found early and treated in time, the success rate is high. In many cases, patients recover fully and live a healthy life with one working kidney.
Top hospitals emphasise:
Dr. Ragavan, Senior Consultant, Uro-Oncologist and Robotic Surgeon from Apollo Cancer Centre, Chennai describes that, “The most important operation done for kidney cancer is an operation called Radical Nephrectomy that is removing the whole kidney along with the things around it”.
