Conditions

Kidney Cancer

Malignant tumors on the kidney are typically diagnosed between the ages of 50 and 70. They can be caused by smoking, family history, diet, exposure to asbestos, blast furnaces, or other diseases and are diagnosed using an ultrasound or CT Scan.

Treatment Options

There are three primary options that depend on the extent of the cancer including surgical removal called a nephrectomy, using a single open surgery method, or using laparoscopic or retroperitoneoscopic surgery, which use several small incisions.
