Kidney Cancer Treatment

 Surgery is often all that is needed to remove kidney tumors that haven’t spread. We offer various approaches to surgery, including minimally invasive techniques that often make recovery faster.

Using Ablation for Kidney Tumors
If you have small tumors and surgery is not the best approach for you, we may recommend image-guided ablation to destroy the cancer. This procedure uses needles that boil or freeze cancerous tissue. We place the needles through your skin and use x-rays to guide them into the tumor. Your body removes the dead tissue, leaving scar tissue in its place.

We can also use thermal ablation to help relieve pain if kidney cancer has metastasized to the bone. The freezing needle numbs the pain.

Treatment Approaches for Advanced Kidney Cancer
For cancer that has spread metastasized beyond the kidneys, we may recommend chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunological therapy — either alone or in combination.
