Is a kidney tumor kidney cancer?

Whether kidney cancer is kidney cancer depends on the specific situation. If it is benign, it is generally not kidney cancer, and if it is malignant, it is kidney cancer.

1. It is not kidney cancer: Kidney tumors usually refer to lesions in the kidney, which may be related to genetics, obesity or long-term smoking. The kidney is stimulated by various factors and may develop renal hamartomas or renal fibromas. These two tumors are benign lesions, not kidney cancer. With timely treatment, they will not cause great harm to the body, so there is no need to worry too much.

2. Kidney cancer: If color Doppler ultrasound, CT scan and other imaging examinations find that the kidney tumor has a tendency to change into a malignant form or invades surrounding tissues, this indicates that the tumor may be malignant and needs to be removed and treated as soon as possible under the guidance of a professional doctor to control the development of the disease in time and reduce the damage to the body.

For kidney tumors, do not blindly take medication. You need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible. According to the examination results, ask the doctor to make a clear diagnosis and then carry out symptomatic treatment. During the treatment process, we should actively cooperate with taking medication on time, but we also need regular checkups to understand the body's recovery. We can also ask the doctor to adjust the drug treatment according to the specific situation, which is conducive to the body returning to normal as soon as possible.
