In most cases, tumours do not manifest themselves in the early stages. Even when there are some symptoms, they may not be recognised immediately. Therefore, it is recommended to take some measures when, for example, there is a family history of kidney disease. For these patients, it may be necessary to have regular assessment using non-invasive exams like ultrasound scans.
Altering some habits, like stopping smoking or changing a diet that causes obesity, help to cut the risk of kidney cancer. High blood pressure is also associated with an increased risk of kidney cancer, so for this reason also needs to be well controlled.
