A member asked:
What do i do if my dad have renal cancer? please, need some answers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have him treated: Renal cancer is a kidney tumor best handled by surgery. If the tumor is small and in the upper or lower poles, partially nephrectomy can be performed. If metastatic there are newer tyrosine kinase drugs that will control the lesion. Renal Ca is not hereditary and will not be passed on to family members.
