Kidney Cancer

Testing for kidney cancer

In the diagnosis of kidney cancer, the following tests may be administered as part of a kidney cancer screening:

Blood and urine samples for lab examination. This will give the doctor data regarding what is causing the symptoms.
A standard battery of imaging tests to help the doctor visualize what is occurring. These include ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
A kidney biopsy may be called for as part of a kidney cancer screening in order to examine a suspicious area of the kidney.

Treatment for kidney cancer

Surgery is the primary options for kidney cancer treatment in most cases. There are different degrees of kidney cancer surgery. The most involved is a radical nephrectomy, which removes the entire kidney as well as a margin of healthy tissue and neighboring lymph nodes. A kidney surgery may simply involve removal of the tumor itself while leaving the remainder of the kidney intact. This is called a partial nephrectomy, and also involves removal of a narrow portion of healthy tissue surrounding the tumor. Our doctors are proud to provide among the best kidney cancer treatment available in Los Angeles and the world.
