Renal Oncology – Kidney Cancers and Tumors

Renal Oncology – Kidney Cancers and Tumors focus on the study and treatment of cancers that affect the kidneys, such as renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which is the most common form of kidney cancer. RCC typically presents with symptoms like blood in the urine, pain, or unexplained weight loss. Other kidney tumors, like Wilms tumor (primarily in children), also fall under this category. Early diagnosis through imaging and biopsy is crucial for effective treatment. Advances in targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and minimally invasive surgery are improving survival rates and outcomes for kidney cancer patients.
