Understand this condition

Adult kidney cancer is often renal-cell carcinoma, distinct from renal-pelvis tumours and childhood kidney tumours.

How it is assessed

CT or MRI, the function of both kidneys, and spread assessment inform planning. Biopsy is used in selected circumstances.

Care pathways

Selected monitoring, partial or total kidney surgery, ablation, or systemic therapy may be discussed. Preserving renal function is important.

Important distinctions & limits

Mass size alone should not determine removal of the whole kidney. Location, complexity, and organ function influence the decision.

Watch first. Understand more easily.

One diagnosis, several care specialties

Read the video transcript
  1. Understand the disease type first. An organ name is not enough. Pathology, stage, and general condition give context.
  2. Each specialty has a role. Medical, radiation, and surgical oncology may work together according to the case.
  3. An MDT brings perspectives together. A multidisciplinary team discusses findings and options. Team composition depends on the case.
  4. Bring clear questions. BKC supports coordination. Diagnosis and medical decisions remain with licensed clinicians.
