Kidney Cancer Treatment Options
A. Surgical Treatment
Surgery is basically the first treatment for kidney tumours. Advanced robotic procedure is offered.
- Radical Nephrectomy: Complete removal of the diseased kidney, adrenal gland, and nearby tissue. Provides open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches.
- Partial Nephrectomy : If the kidney part carrying cancer is removed surgically, the healthy kidney tissue is also spared which is a great option for small tumors.
Dr. Ravi Chandran is qualified and experienced in robotic surgery for kidney cancer at Jayanagara, Bangalore, offering patients greater precision, less pain, quick recovery, and minimal scarring. This surgery is most useful for robotic nephrectomy for kidney tumor, improving outcomes and decreasing complications.
B. Non-Surgical Treatments
Depending on the stage and spread of the cancer, non-surgical treatments may be recommended:
- Cryotherapy: Freezes cancer cells to destroy them.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Using electrical energy to heat and destroy tumors.
- Targeted Therapy: Drugs that block cancer cell growth at the molecular level.
- Immunotherapy: Helps in boosting the body’s natural defenses to fight cancer.
- Radiation Therapy: Focused beams destroy cancerous tissue, typically for palliative purposes.
Every treatment is tailored based on the cancer stage, the patient’s overall health, and how they respond to ongoing therapy.
