Short Answer
Kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma) is often detected incidentally on imaging; treatment depends on stage and may include surgery, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.
Medical Facts
- Renal cell carcinoma accounts for about 90% of kidney cancers in adults.
- Many kidney cancers are now found incidentally during ultrasound or CT scans done for other reasons.
- Early-stage kidney cancer is often curable with partial or radical nephrectomy (kidney removal surgery).
Treatment or Donation Options
- Get a CT scan or MRI for detailed assessment if a kidney mass is detected on ultrasound.
- Consult a urological oncologist for staging and treatment planning.
- Discuss kidney preservation (partial nephrectomy) if the tumor is small and localized.
