Diagnosing Your Kidney Cancer

There are various imaging and diagnostic tests that are used to detect and diagnose renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer, and other types of kidney cancer.

Diagnostic techniques:

  • Physical exam and patient history
  • Blood test: levels of certain substances in the blood are measured for signs of kidney cancer.
  • Urinalysis: tests the color and content of urine including sugar, protein, red and white blood cells.
  • Biopsy: a collection of cells that can be viewed by a pathologist to diagnose cancer. For renal cell cancer, a thin needle is inserted into the tumor and a sample of tissue is withdrawn.

Imaging techniques include CT scan, MRI, Ultrasound and X-ray.

Your Treatment Options

Your individualized treatment plan will take into account the stage of your disease.

One or more of the following types of treatment will be used.

Surgery: There are several types of surgery for kidney cancer. Depending on the stage of the tumor, your care team may select one of the following:

  • Partial nephrectomy: the surgeon removes only the part of the kidney that contains the tumor. Used mainly when a patient only has one kidney, when cancer affects both kidneys or when the tumor is less than four centimeters.
  • Radical nephrectomy: the surgeon removes the entire kidney along with the adrenal gland and some surrounding tissue. Lymph nodes may also be removed.
  • Simple nephrectomy: the surgeon removes the entire kidney, but no other tissue.

Winship urology experts helped kidney cancer patient, Michael Golden.

Radiation: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Radiation treatment may be used to reduce the size of the tumor before surgery or after surgery to destroy any cancer cells remaining in the area.

Immunotherapy: This type of biological therapy uses your body's immune system to recognize and to enhance its ability to tackle cancer cells. This treatment may be used for patients with metastatic kidney cancer.

Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells. It has shown limited effectiveness against kidney cancer.

Clinical Trials

In addition to standard therapy, participating in clinical trials may be an option in certain cases. Clinical trials provide patients access to new medications that are being developed to treat kidney cancer. Consider talking with your doctor about participating in a clinical trial at Winship.
