Our dedicated team of oncologists and urologic oncology specialists deliver advanced, compassionate care for patients with cancer of the kidney, helping them through every stage — from initial diagnosis to recovery and follow-up.
Whether you’ve been diagnosed with an incidental renal mass, are experiencing symptoms like flank pain or hematuria, or have been referred for surgery, Curis Life offers the complete spectrum of kidney cancer treatment in Andheri West.
Understanding Renal Cancer and Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)
Kidney cancer, or renal malignancy, arises from abnormal cell growth in the kidneys. The most common type is renal cell carcinoma (RCC), accounting for nearly 90% of adult kidney cancers. Other types include papillary RCC, chromophobe RCC, and renal pelvis cancer.
In some cases, kidney cancer may also be linked to genetic syndromes like Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) or present in children as Wilms tumor. Tumors may remain localized or spread to other parts of the body (metastatic kidney cancer).
At Curis Life, we manage all types of malignant kidney tumors — from localized RCC suitable for nephron-sparing surgery to advanced renal cancer requiring systemic therapy.
Symptoms of Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer often grows silently in its early stages. However, watch out for the following symptoms of kidney cancer, especially if persistent:
- Hematuria (blood in urine)
- Flank pain or discomfort on one side of the back
- Abdominal lump or swelling
- Fatigue or weakness
- Unexplained weight loss
- High fever that comes and goes
- Elevated blood pressure
- High creatinine levels or poor kidney function
Sometimes, kidney tumors are discovered incidentally during imaging for other reasons.
Causes and Risk Factors for Kidney Cancer
Cancer of the kidney can occur due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Common risk factors include:
- Smoking
- Obesity and hypertension
- Chronic kidney disease or dialysis
- Family history of kidney cancer
- Genetic syndromes such as Von Hippel-Lindau disease
- Exposure to harmful substances (e.g., asbestos, cadmium)
- Long-term use of certain medications
Diagnosis of Kidney Cancer at Curis Life
Our diagnostic process ensures accuracy, early detection, and appropriate staging of the disease. Tests and evaluations include:
- Ultrasound of kidneys – Initial imaging for detecting masses or cysts
- CT scan for kidney tumor – Gold standard for detailed visualization and staging
- MRI (if needed) – For specific anatomical clarification
- Biopsy of kidney mass – In selected cases, to confirm malignancy
- Kidney function tests – Blood and urine tests for evaluating renal performance
- PET scans – To evaluate spread in advanced or metastatic cases
We also differentiate between benign renal tumors, kidney cysts, and malignant neoplasms to avoid unnecessary procedures.
Kidney Cancer Stages and Classification
Kidney cancer is staged from Stage 1 to Stage 4 based on tumor size, lymph node involvement, and metastasis:
- Stage 1–2 (Localized): Tumor confined to the kidney
- Stage 3: Invasion into nearby structures or lymph nodes
- Stage 4: Cancer has spread to distant organs (lungs, bones, liver)
Treatment and prognosis are closely linked to stage at diagnosis.
Kidney Cancer Treatment
Curis Life offers comprehensive kidney cancer treatment in Andheri West, including both surgical and medical options tailored to each patient’s needs.
1. Surgical Treatment
- Partial nephrectomy: Removes the tumor while preserving kidney function. Preferred in early-stage cancers.
- Radical nephrectomy: Removal of the entire kidney along with surrounding tissue and lymph nodes if necessary.
- Laparoscopic kidney surgery: Minimally invasive approach leading to faster recovery and reduced scarring.
- Nephron-sparing surgery: Ideal for patients with cancer in one kidney, poor kidney function, or bilateral tumors.
2. Immunotherapy for Kidney Cancer
- Uses immune checkpoint inhibitors to stimulate the body’s natural defenses
- Effective in metastatic kidney cancer or when surgery isn’t an option
3. Targeted Therapy for RCC
- Drugs targeting cancer cell pathways (e.g., VEGF or mTOR inhibitors)
- Often used in advanced stages to slow tumor growth
4. Palliative Care
- Focused on managing symptoms and improving quality of life for late-stage cancers
Precision Medicine
At Curis Life, we embrace a precision medicine approach for optimal treatment. Our team utilizes:
- Genetic and molecular testing to classify tumors
- Biomarker analysis for immunotherapy or targeted therapy suitability
- Customized plans based on kidney function, comorbidities, and individual health profile
This ensures better outcomes, fewer side effects, and a holistic recovery path.
