What is kidney cancer?
Cancer of the kidney is an abnormal development of cells in the renal tissue. These cells eventually form a lump known as a tumor.
Symptoms
Kidney cancer can show various symptoms once the tumor has reached a certain size. These symptoms are important to seek medical care. If you are noticing any of these signs, reach out to a kidney cancer doctor in Coimbatore, to seek expert advice and treatment. The common ones include:
Blood in the urine, also known as hematuria, is a common symptom of kidney cancer. This can look like pink, red, or brown, which may be intermittent or constant.
Pain in the lower back can be a symptom of kidney cancer. This discomfort may be dull or sharp and is often felt on one side of the back.
Visible swelling or a lump in the abdominal area can be a noticeable symptom of kidney cancer. As the tumor develops, it may cause a mass that can be felt or seen.
Bowel blockage can occur as a symptom of kidney cancer, particularly if the tumor grows large enough to exert pressure on the intestines.
stages of kidney cancer
The tumor is monitored and cancer is within the Kidney
The cancer has spread into nearby veins, lymph nodes or tissue
The tumor grows larger than 7 centimeters
The cancer has progressed into the adrenal gland, distant lymph nodes or other organs
diagnostic procedures
A sample of urine is examined for the presence of blood. Invisible to the human eye, even minute quantities of blood can be discovered in testing of urine samples.
A blood test can reveal if your red blood cell count is too low (anemia) or if the kidney function is affected by analysis of creatinine levels
This is a special kind of X-ray that uses a computer to make a series of images of the insides of the body. Most of the time, intravenous contrast is used to do this test.
During this technique, a needle is introduced into the tumor and a little tissue sample of the kidney mass is extracted and sent for further analysis to confirm cancer.

patient testimonial
I do not have any cause for worry anymore. After being diagnosed with kidney cancer, I honestly thought I might not make it. The hospital's oncologists and nurses went out of their way to ensure I was treated well. My treatment was showing better results as the days went by, soon I had surgery to get rid of the affected tissues. Now, on the path towards complete recovery, I can live a fuller life ahead. I'd like to thank the hospital for their care, dedication during the covid-19 pandemic and treatment for me during the last year. Read More
