The artist Edward revealed the details of the difficult health problem he was exposed to during the last period, indicating that she had reached the discovery of his kidney cancer, and the surgery he underwent to remove the tumor during his hosting in Her Excellency Program.
Kidney tumors, especially Renal cancer (Renal Cell Carcinoma – RCC), is the most common type of kidney cancer, which constitutes more than 90 % of the kidney cancer, and it appears mainly in adults and represents about 3 % of all adult cancers. These tumors are important when they are small, but in the event of large or multiple tumors, a specialized evaluation is required.
Risk factors in kidney cancer
Table of Contents
According to the report of “Kidneyresearchuk”, kidney cancer occurs as a result of genetic mutations in kidney cells, which leads to their reproduction out of control, we do not yet know what stimulates these mutations, but there are some factors that may increase the risk of kidney cancer, and these factors include:
They are obese or overweight
High blood pressure
smoking
The presence of a family history of kidney cancer
Working with or exposure to some chemicals in the workplace such as asbestos, cadmium and some solvents
Symptoms of kidney cancer
Initially, kidney cancer may not cause any clear symptoms, but you should see your general doctor if you have:
The presence of blood in the urine
The presence of a block or swelling on your side
Continuous pain at the bottom of your back or side
Continuous energy loss
Sudden weight loss
Frequent fever
A general feeling of bad health
Most of these symptoms may be caused by other less dangerous causes, but if you have kidney cancer, the more diagnosis and starting treatment are early, the greater the chances of slowing the development of cancer or even recovery from it.
Diagnosis of kidney cancer
Imaging tests (such as ultrasound, computerized tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging) are usually used to detect kidney cancer and assess the extent of its spread to other parts of the body, and blood and urine tests are used to measure kidney function.
With the increased use of tests, it is now possible to determine a large percentage of kidney tumors during examinations to investigate other issues.
Kidney cancer degrees
The cancer cells taken from Kidney biopsy Under a microscope to determine the degree of cancer from 1 to 4, the more cells seem closer to normal cells, the lower classification of cancer and the decrease in its spread, this information may be useful in planning treatment, especially for very small tumors where the tumor monitor is considered one of the treatment options.
Kidney cancer treatment
Treatments depend on the stage or extent of your kidney cancer, and your general health, these treatments may be designed to treat, control or reduce the disease, and a treatment plan will be designed to suit your individual needs.
Treatments may include the following:
Surgery – Open surgery or key hole surgery can be used to remove a portion of the entire college or college, reduce the surgery of the switch (endoscope) from post -surgery pain, facilitates the patient’s exit from the hospital, and accelerates his return to his normal life, which is available to most small and medium -sized tumors, and can also be used Key hole surgery To make a partial eradication of the college (removal of a tumor kidney area) – a procedure available for many small tumors.
Cooling or radio frequency treatment – where cancer cells are destroyed by freezing or heating, this represents a slight therapeutic option to penetrate into small kidney tumors.
Arterial blockage: It is sometimes used to facilitate surgery when it is impossible to remove the kidney. In this technique, blood flow to the tumor reduces and reduces its size.
Radiotherapy: Uses X -rays to eliminate cancer. It is sometimes used to relieve pain (thicker therapy) if kidney cancer is spread to the bones.
Drug therapy: A number of medications are now available to treat kidney tumors that have spread outside the kidneys.
