What are the diagnostic methods for kidney cancer?

How is kidney cancer diagnosed?

Diagnostic methods for kidney cancer include physical examination, CT, renal angiography, etc.

1. Physical examination:

Through physical examination, it can be found that the patient has a palpable mass in the waist or upper abdomen, sometimes left-sided varicocele or lower limb edema, and the patient may also experience symptoms such as urinary pain and hematuria.

2. CT examination:

CT examination can clearly determine whether there is space-occupying disease in the patient's body and is a common method for diagnosing lung cancer.

3. Renal angiography:

Renal angiography can be selected for patients who need to understand the renal vascular distribution and tumor vascular status before palliative renal artery embolization or nephron-sparing surgery.

It can also be diagnosed through bone scanning and other methods. When the symptoms of kidney cancer appear, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. You can take sorafenib tosylate tablets, sirolimus tablets, megestrol acetate dispersible tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor. For more serious patients, they can also be treated by regional lymph node cleaning, embolization therapy, radical nephrectomy and other methods under the guidance of a doctor. After active and effective treatment, symptoms can be relieved, which can reduce the patient's pain, improve the quality of life and prolong survival. In daily life, we should pay attention to strengthening personal care, ensuring adequate rest, and strengthening nutrition, which is beneficial to physical health.
