Kidney Cancer

Kidney Cancer

Your kidneys play a vital role in maintaining your body’s overall health. These bean-shaped organs filter waste, toxins, and excess fluids from your blood, helping regulate everything from blood pressure to red blood cell production. However, when abnormal cell growth disrupts this process, it may lead to kidney cancer, one of the more serious conditions requiring immediate medical attention.

At Shree Srinivasa Uro Care, we offer comprehensive and expert-led kidney cancer treatment in Bangalore. With a highly experienced urology expert, cutting-edge medical technology, and patient-focused care, we aim to deliver the best possible outcomes through early detection, precision diagnosis, and advanced treatment options.

What Is Kidney Cancer?

Kidney cancer occurs when cells in the kidney start growing uncontrollably, forming a mass or tumor. Like most cancers, if not diagnosed and treated in time, it can spread to other parts of the body. Our urology specialist is trained to catch the early signs of kidney cancer and treat it using the latest methods tailored to your unique condition.

Types of Kidney Cancer

Understanding the type of kidney cancer is crucial for planning the right treatment. Here are the most common forms:

• Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC): The most typical form, accounting for nearly 85% of cases. It typically begins in the lining of the kidney’s tubules.
• Transitional Cell Carcinoma: Starts where the ureter connects to the kidney and may also affect the bladder.
• Renal Sarcoma: A rare, aggressive cancer that begins in the kidney’s connective tissue and may spread to nearby areas.
• Wilms' Tumor: Primarily seen in children, this cancer represents about 5% of kidney cancer cases.

Signs and Symptoms to Watch Out For

Early stages of kidney cancer often go unnoticed. However, here are some symptoms that should not be ignored:

• Blood in the urine (hematuria)
• Persistent pain in the side or lower back (flank pain)
• A lump or swelling in the abdomen or side
• Constant fatigue or low energy
• Unexplained weight loss
• Loss of appetite
• Low-grade fever not caused by infection
• Bone pain
• High blood pressure
• Anemia or elevated calcium levels in the blood

If you notice one or more of these signs, it’s essential to consult a urologist promptly.

What Increases Your Risk of Kidney Cancer?

Several lifestyle and genetic factors can increase your risk of developing kidney cancer, including:

• Smoking
• Obesity
• High blood pressure
• Family history of kidney cancer
• Exposure to radiation or cancer-causing chemicals
• Gene mutations or hereditary conditions like Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease
• Long-term dialysis treatment
• Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

Understanding your risk can lead to earlier screening and better outcomes.

How We Diagnose Kidney Cancer at Shree Srinivasa Uro Care

At Shree Srinivasa Uro Care, we follow a thorough diagnostic process using state-of-the-art tools to confirm the presence and stage of kidney cancer:

• Urinalysis – To detect blood or abnormal substances in the urine
• Blood Tests – To check kidney function and detect possible abnormalities
• Ultrasound & CT Scan – To visualize kidney structures and spot tumors
• Renal Mass Biopsy – To examine a tissue sample for cancer cells

These tests help our specialist create a precise treatment plan suited to your condition.
