Kidney Cancer

At Millennium Physicians, we offer a range of advanced treatment options for kidney cancer, tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient. Here are some of the most common and effective kidney cancer treatment options:

Surgery

• Partial Nephrectomy:

  • Removes the tumor while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible
  • Often recommended for small tumors
  • Can be performed using minimally invasive techniques

• Radical Nephrectomy:

  • Removes the entire kidney, along with some surrounding tissue and possibly nearby lymph nodes
  • Recommended for larger or more aggressive tumors

Ablation and Other Localized Treatments

• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA):

  • Uses high-energy radio waves to heat and destroy cancer cells
  • Suitable for small tumors or patients who cannot undergo surgery

• Cryoablation:

  • Freezes cancer cells to kill them
  • Less invasive alternative to surgery, suitable for small tumors

Targeted Therapy

• Attacks specific molecules involved in cancer growth and spread
• Helps slow or stop the progression of kidney cancer
• Often used when the disease has spread beyond the kidney

Immunotherapy

• Enhances the body’s immune response against kidney cancer cells
• Uses drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors
• Promising option for advanced cases

Radiation Therapy

• Uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells
• Helpful in managing symptoms or treating metastatic disease
• Not commonly used as a primary treatment for kidney cancer

Chemotherapy

• Uses drugs to kill rapidly dividing cancer cells throughout the body
• Less commonly used for kidney cancer
• May be an option for certain types, such as transitional cell carcinoma of the kidney
