What are the symptoms of mouth cancer?
  • Kidney cancer is one of the most serious and
    potentially devastating illnesses to have. It can
    have a long-term impact on both physical and
    mental health. Therefore, it is important to
    understand the best methods of kidney cancer
    treatment in order to get the most effective
    care. This article will discuss the various forms
    of treatment available in cancer hospitals in
    Calicut.
  • Kidney Cancer Treatments
  • Surgery
  • There are a few different types of surgery that
    can be used to treat kidney cancer. The most
    common type is called a radical nephrectomy,
    which involves removing the entire kidney, along
    with the surrounding tissue. This is usually the
    best option for people with early-stage kidney
    cancer.
  • If the cancer has spread to other parts of the
    body, a more aggressive approach may be
    necessary. In this case, doctors may recommend a
    partial nephrectomy, which removes only the part
    of the kidney that contains the tumor.
    chemotherapy or radiation therapy may also be
    used in addition to surgery.

  • Radiation therapy 
  • Radiation therapy is a common treatment for
    kidney cancer. It uses high-energy beams, such as
    X-rays, to destroy cancer cells. Radiation
    therapy can be given externally, by aiming the
    beams at the body from outside, or internally, by
    placing radioactive material in needles, seeds,
    wires, or catheters that are placed directly into
    or near the tumor. 
  • External radiation therapy is usually given in
    short treatments, five days a week for several
    weeks. The length of treatment depends on the
    type and stage of the tumor, as well as other
    factors. Internal radiation therapy
    (brachytherapy) can be given in one treatment or
    may require several sessions. 
  • There are different types of internal radiation
    therapy 
  • Neutron beam therapy 
  • Radioactive isotope implants 
  •  Radioembolization 
  • Chemotherapy 
  • Chemotherapy is a common treatment for kidney
    cancer. It uses drugs to kill cancer cells or
    stop them from growing. Chemotherapy can be given
    through a vein in the arm, in pill form, or as a
    shot. It can be used alone or with other
    treatments, such as surgery or radiation therapy.

  • Targeted therapy
  • Targeted therapy is a type of kidney cancer
    treatment that targets specific molecules or
    genes that are involved in the growth and spread
    of cancer cells. It is often used in combination
    with other cancer treatments, such as surgery,
    chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
  • Targeted therapies are designed to kill cancer
    cells while sparing normal cells. These drugs can
    be more effective and have fewer side effects
    than traditional chemotherapy drugs. There are
    many different types of targeted therapies, and
    they are constantly being developed as
    researchers learn more about the biology of
    cancer cells.
  • Some common types of targeted therapies include
  • Monoclonal antibodies
  • Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)
  • mTOR inhibitors
  • VEGF inhibitors
  • Clinical trials
  • There are a few different types of clinical
    trials that can be conducted for kidney cancer
    patients. The most common type is the phase III
    clinical trial, which compares the effectiveness
    of two or more different treatments. These trials
    are important because they help doctors determine
    which treatment is best for each individual
    patient. Sometimes, a phase II clinical trial may
    also be conducted. This type of trial is less
    common and usually only happens if the first
    treatment doesnt work well.
