Renal cell carcinoma is the growth of abnormal cells that may occur in one or both of the kidneys. These abnormal cells grow and mutate into a tumor and harm the normal functioning of the kidneys. Tumors can be benign (noncancerous), or malignant (cancerous). The cancer first appears in the lining of small tubes within the kidney. Usually kidney cancer can be detected early. However, tumors can tend to already grow quite large when they’re found. Options for Kidney Cancer Treatment in India Several kinds of treatment are standard for kidney cancer. Surgery is the ideal treatment. However, doctors often recommend an extra treatment to get rid of any remnants of cancer cells. Surgical Treatment Radical nephrectomy: Complete removal of the infected kidney along with surrounding tissue (may also include lymph nodes). Simple nephrectomy: Removal of only the infected kidney Partial nephrectomy: Removal of the tumor along with some healthy tissue. This is also known as kidney-sparing surgery. Read more
