Q: I have a renal tumour. What are the latest treatments?

Answer:

Kidney Cancer Expert, Dr Rowland Illing explains that until recently the only treatment options for kidney cancer were active monitoring and / or radical nephrectomy, where the entire kidney is removed. However, the latest image guided tecniques mean that it is now possible to specifically target the tumour and immediate surrounding tissues, without the need to remove the entire organ. This preserves kidney function, reduces surgical risk and gives a quicker recovery time.
