Q. My mum has a renal cancer tumor. Which medicine can help her cure this disease?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Treatment for renal cancer depends on the size and location of the tumor as well as other health factors. The most common treatments are surgery, radiation therapy, or systemic therapy (treatments that go throughout the body). Surgery is typically used to remove part or all of the kidney if possible. Radiation therapy can be used to shrink tumors or destroy any remaining cancer cells after surgery. Systemic therapies are usually administered intravenously and include medications such as chemotherapy, targeted agents, immunotherapy treatments, and hormone therapies.
Your mother's oncologist will be able to recommend a specific course of treatment based on her individual needs which may involve one or more types of treatment mentioned above depending her medical history. It's important that your mum seek prompt medical attention in order to ensure that she is receiving appropriate care for her condition.
