GOALS OF KIDNEY CANCER TREATMENT

CANCER FREE SURVIVAL

The most important goal of kidney cancer treatment is living a great life, cancer free.

PRESERVE KIDNEY FUNCTION

The second goal of treatment is to preserve kidney function to maximize survival and minimal normal kidney loss.

PROTECT BLADDER FUNCTION

ADRENAL CANCER

The adrenal glands are a pair of organs that sit above the kidney and work to provide important hormones for the body – sex hormones, stress hormones, and others.

In some patients, the adrenal gland can contain lesions or adenomas that can produce these hormones in excess. This leads to many changes in the body or function – increased weight, uncontrolled blood pressure, diabetes, and weakness/fatigue, among other things.

Specialized imaging, blood work or other testing may be required to determine these lesions are causing hormonal imbalances. Sometimes, cancers can also form in these glands.

It is important that if an adrenal lesion is detected, you see your doctor to test the functionality of it and figure out a treatment plan for it. The treatments may consist of observation, medications, or even surgery. We can surgically treat, if necessary, your adrenal lesion using laparoscopy or robotics to help keep your recovery time to a minimum and allow you to return to your life sooner.
