Kidney Cancer

Kidney Cancer

Kidney Cancer, also known as renal cancer, originates in the kidneys and is often detected in the later stages due to subtle symptoms. Dr. Prabhat Ranjan, a distinguished urologist, provides expertise in diagnosing and treating this condition to improve patient outcomes.

Common Signs

Symptoms

Kidney Cancer often develops slowly and may not show noticeable symptoms in its early stages. As the tumor grows, common signs include blood in the urine (hematuria), which may cause the urine to appear pink, red, or brown. Patients may also experience persistent pain in the lower back or side, near the kidneys, or a palpable lump in the abdomen. Other symptoms may include unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and a general feeling of weakness or malaise. Some individuals may notice swelling in the ankles, legs, or abdomen due to impaired kidney function. In advanced stages, kidney cancer may cause high blood pressure and anemia. Some individuals may also experience fever or night sweats. If left untreated, kidney cancer can progress silently and lead to further complications, affecting overall health. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for better outcomes and improved quality of life.

Diagnosis and Treatment Options

Dr. Ranjan employs cutting-edge diagnostic tools, including:

  • Imaging Tests: Ultrasound, CT, or MRI to detect tumors.
  • Blood and Urine Tests: Evaluate kidney function and detect abnormalities.
  • Biopsy: Confirms cancer type.

Treatment Options

  • Surgery: Partial or complete nephrectomy.
  • Targeted Therapy: Medications to block cancer growth.
  • Immunotherapy: Boosts the body’s immune response.
  • Radiation Therapy: Used in specific cases.

Prevention Strategies

Dr. Ranjan emphasizes lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, managing high blood pressure, and regular screenings for at-risk individuals, to reduce the risk of kidney cancer.
