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.
