A large hospital that treats kidney cancer

Renal cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the urothelial system of the renal parenchyma. Its full academic name is renal cell carcinoma, also known as renal adenocarcinoma, or simply kidney cancer. It is the most common malignant tumor of the renal parenchyma. Due to the increase in average life expectancy and advances in medical imaging, the incidence of renal cancer has increased compared to before. The number of renal cancers that have no obvious clinical symptoms but are discovered accidentally during physical examinations is increasing.

Renal cancer includes various subtypes of renal cell carcinoma originating from different parts of the urinary tubules, but does not include tumors originating from the renal interstitium and renal pelvic tumors. Renal cancer is a multivascular tumor, often with large collateral veins, and bleeding is easy to occur during surgery and is difficult to control. Therefore, when operating on larger tumors, selective renal artery embolization can be performed before surgery. This operation can cause severe pain, fever, intestinal paralysis, infection, etc., and should not be used routinely.

When choosing a hospital, you should consider the following:

1. Choose a "famous" department: Although some hospitals are famous, if the department you visit is weak, it is still not ideal. Therefore, it is very important to compare the settings and levels of the departments in various hospitals. At present, there is no specific ranking list of various departments in China, but the national key disciplines announced by the review can be used for reference, of course, only the top few with the strongest comprehensive strength in the country are included. In addition, you can ask the doctor who first consulted you, search on the Internet, and listen to the opinions and suggestions of other patients.

2. Look at the nature of the hospital: Generally speaking, hospitals affiliated to medical schools are stronger. With the support of medical schools, good teacher-student relationships, and the fact that doctors are responsible for lecturing and guiding interns, their knowledge is updated quickly, and they are relatively experienced in treating difficult and complicated diseases. The human resources of doctors in these hospitals are absolutely superior.

3. Look at the reputation of the hospital: A good hospital will always leave a good impression on local patients, that is, it has a good reputation. Before going to see a doctor, you may want to search the Internet or ask more people to get a preliminary understanding of the hospital.

4. General hospitals and specialized hospitals: Compared with general hospitals, specialized hospitals have simpler department settings and more thorough research on certain diseases, such as cancer hospitals and obstetrics and gynecology hospitals. Of course, if the disease is not limited to a certain system, it is better to go to a general hospital, which can organize multi-department consultations, and the examination methods and equipment are more comprehensive.

5. Determine whether the clinic is legal: Illegal clinics do not have a medical practice license issued by the local health administrative department, the practitioners do not have the qualifications to practice medicine, have not passed the national medical practitioner examination, have not been registered for practice, and do not have the right to diagnose and treat.
