Kidney Cancer Doctor in Kolkata

Kidney cancer often grows quietly. You may not feel anything unusual at first.

But noticing blood in urine, a persistent pain in your side, or a lump near your lower back? These could indicate kidney cancer.

If you’re searching for specialist help, consult Dr. (Maj) Ranajoy Dutta, an experienced kidney cancer surgeon in Kolkata, known for evidence-based treatment and compassionate care.

What is Kidney Cancer?

Kidney cancer happens when cells in your kidneys start growing abnormally. These cells can form a lump (called a tumour), which may interfere with how the kidney filters waste and controls blood pressure.

The most common type is renal cell carcinoma (a cancer that starts in the small filtering units inside your kidney). Less common types affect the kidney’s drainage area, or the children’s version, called Wilms’ tumour.

Kidney Cancer Treatment in Kolkata

Treatment for kidney cancer depends on the kidney cancer stages and grades, how far it has spread and your overall health. Surgery is usually the first step, either removing just the tumour (partial nephrectomy) or the whole kidney (radical nephrectomy).

If the cancer has spread, Dr. Ranajoy may prescribe medicines that target cancer cells or boost your immune system. Radiation and chemotherapy are less common but may be considered in specific cases too.

Dr. Dutta offers the most effective kidney cancer treatment plans to help patients fight cancer and overcome it in better conditions with minimal side effects.
