Renal Cell Carcinoma treatment in Santiago de Querétaro

Renal cell carcinoma is a type of cancer that originates in the cells of the kidneys, specifically in the tubules that filter the blood and produce urine.

How it can show up: In the early stages it usually causes no symptoms; over time, blood in the urine, flank pain, or a palpable lump may appear, although many are detected on imaging studies.

Associated factors: Various health and lifestyle factors can influence its appearance.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist and the oncologist take part in its evaluation and follow-up, while the general practitioner provides guidance in the initial evaluation. With persistent urinary symptoms or findings on studies, an evaluation with the corresponding specialist is the most prudent course.
