Content Introduction What is kidney cancer? symptoms Stages Types treatment
The kidneys are a pair of bean shaped organs located in the abdomen. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood of certain wastes creating urine. Normally, cells in the kidneys that are old or damaged will stop dividing and die before they can become cancerous. These cells are normally replaced by healthy young cells. Kidney cancer occurs when old or damaged cells continue to divide and multiply uncontrollably

Surgery surgery is the removal of the tumor and some
surrounding healthy tissue during an operation
if the cancer has not spread beyond the kidneys, surgery to remove the tumor , part or all of the kidney
Targeted therapy
targeted therapy is a treatment that targets the cancer’s specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival.
this type of treatment blocks the growth and spread of cancer cells while limiting damage to healthy cells.
Immuno therapy immunotherapy, also called biologic therapy,
is designed to boost the body's natural defenses to fight cancer
it uses materials made either by the body or in a laboratory to improve, target, or restore immune system function.
centers with expertise in high-dose il-2 for kidney cancer should recommend il-2.
Radiation therapy radiation therapy is the use of high-energy x-
rays or other particles to destroy cancer cells. for kidney cancer, internal radiation (brachy)
therapy is given using a hollow needle to insert radioactive seeds directly into a tumor.
Chemo therapychemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy
cancer cellsalthough chemotherapy is useful for treating
most types of cancer, kidney cancer is often resistant to chemotherapy.
