What is Kidney Cancer? | Symptoms and Treatment | Dr Samir Khanna | CK Birla Hospital, Delhi

Dr. Samir Khanna, Director of Urology at the CK Birla Hospital, provides an in-depth overview of kidney cancer, covering its causes, symptoms, types, diagnosis, and treatment options. Symptoms: Kidney cancer often does not present symptoms in its early stages. As the disease progresses, symptoms may include: Blood in the Urine (Hematuria): Urine may appear pink, red, or cola-colored. Persistent Back or Side Pain: Pain below the ribs that doesn't go away. Unexplained Weight Loss: Losing weight without trying. Fatigue: Persistent tiredness. Fever: Intermittent fever not caused by an infection. Types: The main types of kidney cancer include: Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC): The most common type, accounting for about 80% of cases. Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC): Originates in the renal pelvis and accounts for most of the remaining cases. Wilms' Tumor: A rare type that primarily affects children. Diagnosis: To diagnose kidney cancer, healthcare providers may use: Imaging Tests: Such as CT scans, MRIs, or ultrasounds to visualise the kidneys. Urine Tests: To check for blood or abnormal cells in the urine. Blood Tests: To assess kidney function and detect anemia. Biopsy: In some cases, a tissue sample may be taken to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment: Treatment options depend on the stage and type of kidney cancer and may include: Surgery: The primary treatment, which may involve removing part (partial nephrectomy) or all of the affected kidney (radical nephrectomy). Radiation Therapy: Uses high-energy rays to target and kill cancer cells. Targeted Therapy: Involves drugs that target specific genes or proteins that contribute to cancer growth. Immunotherapy: Boosts the body's immune system to fight cancer cells. Active Surveillance: In certain cases, especially when the tumor is small and slow-growing, monitoring the cancer without immediate treatment may be recommended. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment. If you experience any of the mentioned symptoms or have risk factors associated with kidney cancer, it's important to consult a healthcare professional promptly.
