FAQ about Kidney cancer Treatment in Italy

Kidney cancer

Kidney cancer (kidney carcinoma) is a malignant tumor that occurs in organ cells. Male patients aged from 50 to 70 are subjects at higher risk of kidney cancer development.

Tumor affects one, much less often - both kidneys. 50% patients have renal cell cancer. In all other cases, malignant tumor develops in ureter, kidney pelvis. Kidney sarcoma is diagnosed in less than 10% patients.

Tumor cells develop in retroperitoneal space that шы poorly palpable. Early stages of the disease are asymptomatic. Tumor is often detected during scheduled ultrasound when it already has large size.

Typical symptoms of kidney cancer:

blood in urine (hematuria);

severe lumbar pain;

abdominal induration palpable during examination;

increased temperature and blood pressure;

podedema.

Kidney cancer diagnostics

Kidney ultrasound is the most available method but it does not provide an accurate diagnosis. Therefore, kidney cancer diagnostics should include a set of procedures:

  • Ultrasound of abdominal cavity and urinary system – defines changing of the shape, size of kidney and tumor location;
  • expanded blood laboratory tests (including oncomarkers) and urinalysis;
  • computed tomography (CT) with contrast – “golden standard” of kidney cancer diagnostics. It shows precise location, size of the tumor, depth of its growth into an organ and stages the diseases. CT also enables determining of metastases;
  • MRI is rarely applied for kidney carcinoma. It is used when CT is contraindicated;
  • biopsy – standard examination for cancer diagnosis. For kidney cancer biopsy is not always informative. Therefore, it is performed only upon doctor’s recommendation;
  • renal angiography, X-ray study and bone scanning – X-rays examinations aiming at determine metastases in lungs, bone tissue. It is carried out when CT with contrast is absent.
