What is Kidney Cancer?
Kidney cancer develops when abnormal cells in the kidney tissue
grow
uncontrollably and form a tumour. The most common type is renal cell
carcinoma
(RCC), which usually starts in the small tubes (tubules) that
filter blood in
the kidney.
In early stages, kidney cancer may not cause any obvious symptoms and is often
found
accidentally during ultrasound or CT scans done for other reasons. As the tumour
grows,
it can lead to blood in urine, pain or a lump in the flank, or general symptoms
like
weight loss and fatigue.
Timely detection and treatment are crucial. Localised kidney cancers can often
be cured
with partial nephrectomy (removing the tumour only) or
radical nephrectomy (removing the whole kidney), depending on
size and
location, while preserving overall kidney function as far as possible.
Blood in Urine (Hematuria)
One of the most important warning signs of kidney cancer is
blood in urine. Urine may appear red, pink or
cola-coloured,
and bleeding may be painless or intermittent. Even a single episode of
visible
blood in urine should not be ignored and needs prompt evaluation by a
urologist.
Flank Pain or Lump in the Side
Dull aching pain in the side of the abdomen or back (flank), a feeling
of
fullness, heaviness or a palpable mass in the flank region may suggest a
kidney tumour, especially when associated with other symptoms.
Persistent or
unexplained flank pain should always be investigated.
Unexplained Weight Loss, Fever & Fatigue
Many patients with kidney cancer may experience general symptoms such as
tiredness, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, low-grade fever or
night sweats. These features are non-specific but, when combined with
urinary
or imaging findings, can point towards kidney cancer and warrant further
tests.
High Blood Pressure & Other Associated Changes
Some patients may develop new or worsening high blood
pressure,
anaemia or, in some cases, high haemoglobin levels due to hormone-like
substances produced by the tumour. Swelling of legs or varicocele in
adult
males can sometimes be associated with kidney tumours that affect blood
flow
from the kidney.
Causes & Risk Factors for Kidney Cancer
The exact cause of kidney cancer is not always known, but several factors are
associated with a higher risk of developing the disease:
1. Smoking – Cigarette smoking significantly increases the risk
of
renal cell carcinoma. The longer and heavier the smoking, the greater the risk.
2. Obesity & Sedentary Lifestyle – Excess body weight and
lack of
physical activity are known risk factors for kidney cancer and many other
cancers.
3. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) – Long-standing
uncontrolled
hypertension and some blood pressure medicines may be associated with increased
risk.
4. Family History & Genetic Syndromes – Having close
relatives
with kidney cancer or certain inherited conditions (such as von Hippel–Lindau
syndrome) raises the chance of developing kidney tumours.
5. Long-Term Dialysis or Kidney Disease – Patients with chronic
kidney disease on prolonged dialysis can develop cysts and tumours in the
kidneys.
6. Occupational & Environmental Exposures – Exposure to
certain
chemicals, heavy metals and solvents has been linked with kidney cancer in some
studies.
A complete evaluation with ultrasound, CT or MRI and blood/urine
tests
helps to confirm the diagnosis, define the stage and plan the most appropriate
treatment while safeguarding kidney function.

Extensive experience in evaluating hematuria, kidney masses and managing
localised
as well as complex kidney cancers using standardised protocols and modern
surgical techniques.
• Comprehensive Evaluation & Staging
From detailed history and examination to ultrasound, CT/MRI and relevant blood
and
urine tests, we perform a thorough assessment to understand tumour behaviour,
stage
and kidney function before planning any procedure.
• Advanced Laparoscopic & Open Surgery
We offer partial nephrectomy (nephron-sparing) for suitable
kidney
tumours and radical nephrectomy for larger or more complex
cancers,
using laparoscopic or open approaches depending on safety and feasibility.
• Focus on Kidney Preservation & Safety
Wherever possible, we aim to preserve normal kidney tissue, especially in
patients
with a single kidney, bilateral tumours or pre-existing kidney disease, while
ensuring adequate cancer clearance.
• Long-Term Follow-Up & Coordination of Care
After surgery, we provide structured follow-up schedules and coordinate with
medical oncology teams whenever additional systemic treatment is needed, so that
patients receive holistic and continuous care.
Kidney Cancer Treatment Options at Swastik Urology Clinic
Treatment choice depends on the size, location, stage and
spread of
the tumour, as well as your kidney function, age and overall health:
1. Detailed Evaluation & Active Surveillance (Selected
Cases)
• Complete clinical evaluation and review of imaging
• Small, incidentally detected tumours in elderly or high-risk patients may be
monitored with regular scans in carefully selected situations
• Decision is individualised after detailed discussion of risks and
benefits
2. Partial Nephrectomy (Nephron-Sparing Surgery)
• Preferred for many small to medium-sized localised
tumours
• Only the tumour with a margin of normal tissue is removed, preserving the rest
of the kidney
• Can be performed laparoscopically or by open surgery, depending on tumour
complexity
3. Radical Nephrectomy
• Recommended for larger, centrally located or more advanced cancers where
nephron-sparing is not safe
• Involves removal of the kidney along with surrounding fat and, if required,
nearby lymph nodes
• Performed via laparoscopic or open approach based on tumour and patient
factors
4. Multidisciplinary Care & Systemic Therapy Referral
• For advanced or metastatic disease, we coordinate with oncology
specialists
• Additional treatments like targeted therapy, immunotherapy or chemotherapy may
be advised as per stage and latest guidelines
• Regular follow-up and imaging help in monitoring response and detecting any
recurrence early
Your urologist will explain all suitable options and recommend the
safest and most effective plan based on your reports,
expectations
and overall clinical condition.
When to Consider Kidney Cancer Treatment
Kidney Cancer Treatment may be recommended when symptoms persist, investigations show an important abnormality, or medical management alone is not giving lasting relief.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kidney Cancer Treatment
When should I consult a urologist for possible kidney
cancer?
You should consult a urologist if you notice blood in urine (even a
single episode), have persistent flank or back pain, feel a lump or
fullness in the side of the abdomen, or if an ultrasound/CT scan has
shown a suspicious kidney mass or cyst. Unexplained weight loss,
fever,
loss of appetite or new uncontrolled high blood pressure along with
urinary findings are additional reasons for urgent evaluation.
Is surgery the only treatment for kidney cancer?
For most localised kidney cancers, surgery is the main and most
effective treatment. The type of surgery (partial or radical
nephrectomy, laparoscopic or open) depends on tumour and patient
factors. In selected elderly or high-risk patients with very small
tumours, close observation may be considered. In advanced or
metastatic
disease, additional treatments like targeted therapy or
immunotherapy
may be needed along with or after surgery. Your urologist will
suggest
the best approach for your specific situation.
How long do I need to stay in the hospital for kidney
cancer surgery?
Hospital stay after kidney cancer surgery depends on the type of
procedure (laparoscopic or open), your general health and any
associated
medical conditions. Many patients undergoing laparoscopic partial or
radical nephrectomy may require a stay of a few days, while open
surgeries or complex cases can need a slightly longer admission.
Your
urologist will explain the expected duration and recovery milestones
before the operation.
Can I live a normal life after losing one kidney due
to cancer?
Many people live perfectly normal, active lives with a single
healthy
kidney. After nephrectomy, regular follow-up to monitor kidney
function,
blood pressure and overall health is important. Maintaining a
healthy
lifestyle, avoiding smoking, controlling blood pressure and diabetes
and
staying hydrated help protect the remaining kidney. At Swastik
Urology
Clinic, we guide you on long-term care and follow-up after surgery
so
that you can return to your routine safely and confidently.
