Rare Renal Tumour Surgery

EA 3.5 Rare Renal Tumour Surgery

Rare renal tumour surgery refers to surgical procedures performed to remove tumours that develop in the kidney and are considered rare or uncommon. These tumours include various types of benign and malignant growths, such as renal cell carcinoma (RCC), Wilms tumour, transitional cell carcinoma, and rare forms of sarcoma. The surgical treatment for rare renal tumours depends on the size, location, and stage of the tumour, as well as the patient’s overall health and personal preferences. Common surgical procedures used to treat renal tumours include radical nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, and laparoscopic surgery. In addition to surgery, other treatments may be used to treat rare renal tumours, including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies. The choice of treatment depends on the type and stage of the tumour, as well as the patient’s overall health and personal preferences.
