What is Kidney Cancer?
Kidney cancer, or renal cell carcinoma, starts in the kidney cells, which are responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. Often silent in early stages, it may present symptoms like blood in urine, back pain, or an abdominal lump as it progresses.
At Ananta Urology & Robotic Clinic in Ahmedabad, we provide most advanced treatment for kidney cancer, utilizing state-of-the-art Da Vinci Xi robotic surgery and innovative treatments to achieve the best outcomes.
Signs and Symptoms of Kidney Cancer
Because of the location of the kidney, many renal masses have no symptoms in the early stage until they become huge and are in a locally advanced stage. More than 60% of kidney tumours also known as renal cell carcinoma(RCC) are now detected incidentally in the Early Stage with the increased use of advanced imaging to evaluate various nonspecific symptoms. Symptoms of kidney cancer can be due to local tumor growth, bleeding, paraneoplastic syndromes, or metastatic disease.
⦁ Flank pain or pain in the lower back
⦁ Hematuria or red-coloured urine
⦁ Palpable swelling in the upper abdomen
Symptoms of the Advanced Stage Kidney Cancer Include
⦁ Weight loss
⦁ Swelling of testicular veins
⦁ Persistent cough
⦁ Fever
⦁ Bilateral lower leg swelling
⦁ Night sweats
⦁ Bone pain
Prompt medical attention from a Uro-oncologist is crucial for timely early diagnosis. Early detection is vital to prevent kidney loss and increase the chances of cure.
Treatment of Kidney Cancer
Once diagnosis and staging of the disease have been done, the next step is deciding on the best course of treatment to improve outcomes. Each surgical option, whether traditional open surgery or the latest Robotic Surgery, has its purpose and advantages. At our hospital, Dr Rohan Patel, one of the Top UroOncologist in India, with over 15 years of experience in providing the best Kidney Cancer Surgery in Ahmedabad, provides the most effective and evidence-based treatment based on the cancer type and stage.
Radical Nephrectomy
It consists of the removal of the entire tumour-bearing kidney along with surrounding lymph nodes. It is done when cancer involves a large part of the kidney, has grown outside the organ, or has invaded the vein (IVC). The decision to perform a Radical Nephrectomy is made by studying a CT scan or MRI and the status of the opposite normal kidney. The procedure can be done via traditional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or the latest and most advanced robotic-assisted surgery(RARN) method.
Partial Nephrectomy
Also known as Nephron Sparing Surgery( NSS), it consists of the process of removing just the cancer while preserving the remaining normal part of the kidney. It leaves the normal kidney intact, thereby decreasing the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the future. It is usually recommended in case of tumors upto 7 cm in size, patients with already decreased renal function, or having only a single kidney. Partial Nephrectomy can also be done via Open, Laparoscopic or Robot-assisted surgery(RAPN).
Robotic Surgery in Kidney Cancer
Robotic Surgery in Kidney Cancer (Robotic Partial Nephrectomy) is the most advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that has revolutionized urological cancer procedures. Its advantages, like precision, smaller incisions (<1> cm), magnified vision (10X), reduced blood loss, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stays, have made it a Gold standard for kidney cancer surgery.
At Ananta Urology Clinic in Ahmedabad, Dr Rohan Patel is a leading specialist for robotic surgery in Kidney Cancer in Ahmedabad and India with over 15 years of experience and more than 500 robotic surgeries in India.
Thermal Ablative Therapies
In select cases, Thermal ablative therapy may be chosen. It includes renal cryosurgery and radiofrequency ablation (RFA). They are an alternative form for patients with localized RCC. Both offer the potential for reduced morbidity and more rapid recovery. It is usually reserved for patients who are deemed unfit to undergo surgery or who refuse surgical intervention.
Active Surveillance
It consists of serial monitoring of kidney cancer at regular intervals by imaging and intervention in case of an increase in size in the future. It is an acceptable management strategy for carefully selected patients, not candidates for conventional surgery or thermal ablative approaches. Ideal patients for this form of therapy are those with small renal lesions, who are elderly or have poor surgical risks.
Chemotherapy
In advanced cases, or metastatic RCC stage 4, the uro oncologist may advise chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, or targeted therapy as a part of your treatment.
Early-stage Kidney Cancer is associated with excellent outcomes and cures. Although advanced-stage kidney cancer is associated with less favourable outcomes, remarkable advances have been made in the field of Immunotherapy and targeted therapy for kidney cancer, thereby improving outcomes. At our kidney cancer clinic, we follow Internationally accepted prognostic models to estimate the outcomes depending on the stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Early-stage kidney cancer is completely curable. As the stage of the disease increases, the survival rates decrease. Stage 1 kidney cancer is completely curable. Stage 4 kidney cancer is associated with less than 15% 5-year survival rates if not treated.
Survival rates of kidney cancer depend upon the Kidney cancer stage as well as the overall health of the patient. If detected early, Kidney cancer surgery is associated with a complete cure.
Treatment of kidney cancer depends upon the size of the tumor and local or distant spread. In tumors < 7 cm in size or Stage 1, robotic partial nephrectomy is the treatment of choice. If the tumor is larger or in stage 2, Radical Nephrectomy or complete removal of the kidney is usually the treatment of choice. In stages 3 and 4, usually, a combination of surgery (Radical Nephrectomy) and chemotherapy is recommended. The final decision is made by a team of Kidney Cancer specialists.
As with any surgery, certain risks are commonly related to anesthesia. Side effects or complications specific to surgery include bleeding, urine leak, recurrence, and infection. With Robotic Surgery complication rates are generally lower compared to open kidney cancer surgery. Also the experience of the surgeon with advanced surgeries like partial nephrectomy has a major role in overall complication rates.
The cost of kidney cancer surgery depends on various factors like the hospital, complexities of the tumor, patient comorbidities, and the length of stay. It also depends on the modality of surgery, whether robotic, laparoscopic, or open surgery. Robotic surgery is the most common technology utilized worldwide, and the average cost ranges from ₹4-5 lakhs in India.
