Cancer of the Kidney, also known as Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), is one of the most common urological cancers. It originates in the kidney tissues responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. With extensive experience in Uro-Oncology and Minimally Invasive Surgery, Dr. Premkumar K offers advanced diagnostic and surgical treatments to manage kidney cancer effectively and preserve renal function whenever possible.
Common Causes & Risk Factors – Smoking, obesity, hypertension, prolonged dialysis, genetic factors, and family history of kidney cancer.
Symptoms – Blood in urine (hematuria), persistent flank pain, abdominal lump, unexplained weight loss, fever, or fatigue. Many cases are also detected incidentally through imaging.
Diagnostic Evaluation – Ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, and renal function tests help determine tumor size, location, and stage before deciding on surgical management.
Treatment Options – Partial Nephrectomy for early-stage tumors to preserve kidney tissue, or Radical Nephrectomy (laparoscopic/robotic) for advanced cancers requiring complete kidney removal.
Advanced Techniques – Laparoscopic and robotic surgery minimize pain, reduce hospital stay, and ensure faster recovery with excellent oncological outcomes.
Comprehensive Oncology Support – Includes targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and long-term surveillance for recurrence or metastasis management.
