Advantages and disadvantages of resection surgery for kidney cancer treatment

The advantages and disadvantages of resection surgery for kidney cancer treatment are what people want to know. Some people hesitate because they suspect that these treatments will bring a series of disadvantages to people. Let the experts explain the treatment of kidney cancer in detail.

How to treat kidney cancer? Compared with traditional radical renal cancer surgery, successful nephron-sparing surgery has the same tumor control effect and the advantage of retaining more functional nephrons, so it has become a hot spot in the current research of renal cancer surgery. However, this surgery requires high technical content and has very strict surgical indications. In other words, not every renal cancer patient can retain the kidney. It is generally believed that only tumors with a diameter of less than 4 cm and confined to the edge or upper and lower poles of the kidney are worth retaining the kidney. At the same time, there are many patients with solitary kidney renal cancer, bilateral renal cancer, unilateral renal cancer with severe renal insufficiency, and unilateral renal cancer with pre-existing renal disease in the contralateral kidney. For them, nephron-sparing nephrectomy is the best choice. The surgery can not only achieve the purpose of completely removing the tumor lesions like traditional radical renal cancer surgery, but also retain the normal renal parenchyma units to the maximum extent, providing a guarantee for the patient's kidney function reserve and adding a guarantee for their future health. However, for those renal cancer patients with larger tumors close to the center, it is not worth the risk to bear the risk of residual tumor after surgery in order to achieve the purpose of renal preservation, and this treatment method for renal cancer is absolutely undesirable.

The goal of kidney cancer treatment is to remove as much cancerous tissue as possible. Therefore, radical nephrectomy that preserves the nephron is not a panacea. Whether to preserve the kidney after kidney cancer must be carefully decided by an experienced surgeon based on all factors. Close follow-up should be conducted after the operation to avoid rash and arbitrary decisions that may cause disaster.

The above is an introduction to the treatment of kidney cancer. Do you understand it? I hope that if patients find that they have the disease, timely treatment is the most important thing. Of course, they must face the disease squarely and receive treatment seriously to ensure their health.
