DIAGNOSIS
To understand more about your sensations, your therapist will diagnose your questions and ask you to describe your symptoms as well. They’ll start by giving you a physical examination and asking you questions related to your conditions.
Aside from that, they’ll do some tests that could include:
- Biopsy
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Tests to see how well your liver is working
- CT scan
- Ultrasound
- Nephrectomy
You will be able to identify the stage of cancer so you may select between the finest treatment choices if the data show that you also have renal cell carcinoma. The doctor may request for some tests to look into your chest and belly to see what’s going on, such as:
- Bone scan
- CT scan
- Chest X-ray
- MRI
TREATMENT
Renal cell carcinoma can be treated in a variety of ways by doctors. Before you find a reliable measure, you will need to test many measures. Moreover, the optimal treatment option for you is determined by the stage of your cancer, your overall health, and any potential adverse effects. Among your alternatives are:
- Drugs such as interferon-alfa
- Ablation.
- The operation to eliminate all or part of the kidney
- Organic medicines
- Targeted therapy
Renal cell carcinoma normally does not respond well to these treatments. In these situations, your doctor may prescribe chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of treatment if other therapies have failed to relieve your symptoms.
