Surgery is the primary treatment to treat kidney cancer. If the cancer is not removed at the earliest, it will interfere with the primary functions of the organs and spread to other tissues and organs. If the tumor can be removed when detected in the initial stages there’s a higher chance of recovery. In the advanced stages, the patient will have to go through chemotherapy procedures. The common surgery for affected kidney include radical nephrectomy; this is where the entire kidney, the adrenal gland, and the affected surrounding tissues are removed. In many cases, the remaining healthy kidney takes over the entire functions of the organs, and this will prevent the need for dialysis.
