In short

Kidney cancer often causes no symptoms in its early stages - renal cell carcinoma is the most common type, accounting for around 90% of cases, and blood in the urine is often the first sign that prompts investigation.

Common Questions

Before you book

Can kidney cancer be detected early?
Early detection is challenging because symptoms are often absent in the initial stages. Regular check-ups, particularly for those with risk factors, and imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT or MRI can help detect abnormalities before symptoms appear.
What is the prognosis for kidney cancer?
Prognosis largely depends on the stage at diagnosis, the size and spread of the tumour, and how well it responds to treatment. Cancers confined to the kidney generally have a better outlook.
Can kidney cancer recur after treatment?
Yes, kidney cancer can recur even after successful treatment. Regular follow-up appointments, including imaging and blood tests, are essential for early detection of any recurrence.
What lifestyle changes help after a kidney cancer diagnosis?
A balanced diet, regular physical activity, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol all support recovery and long-term health. Mr Ghei can advise on the approach that fits your situation.
