Firstly, we have to clarify whether the nature of renal tumor is renal cancer or glenoid cancer, which are different from each other, and the adjuvant therapy after surgery is also different from each other.
Secondly, it is necessary to know the size and location of renal cancer, and whether it is possible to carry out tumor resection of kidney and preservation of renal parenchymal units.
Third, the number, volume, size, cell grade of renal pelvis cancer, whether it is possible to preserve the renal parenchyma, or whether radical resection of renal pelvis cancer is necessary.
Fourth, one must know the grade of the tumor as well as the genetic mutation characteristics of the tumor cells.
It is strongly recommended to use the specimen of tumor tissue obtained after surgery to conduct auxiliary genetic testing, and the targets of these genetic tests can be for targeted drugs, immunotherapy drugs, or auxiliary chemotherapy drugs, which are very important references for the selection of later auxiliary treatment plans.
The main treatment for kidney tumor is surgery, but the specific treatment plan will be based on the size and location of the tumor and other factors. Usually the kidney tumors are mostly referred to as kidney cancer, so the following is mainly about kidney cancer treatment plan. If it is a small-sized kidney tumor, kidney preservation surgery is preferred, i.e. the tumor will be removed and then the kidney will be stitched up. If the tumor is larger in size and in a poor location, radical nephrectomy may be considered, which removes the kidney together with the surrounding fat and lymph nodes. Among the surgical options may include open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, da Vinci robotic surgery, and others.
