Kidney Cancer Frequently Asked Questions
Symptoms of kidney cancer can be subtle. Some people notice blood in the urine, pain in the side, fatigue, or unexplained weight loss. In many cases, kidney cancer is found during imaging tests done for another reason. Talk to your primary care provider or urologist if you notice any symptoms.
Routine screening is not recommended for most people. If you have a genetic condition that makes you more likely to develop kidney cancer, your doctor may recommend periodic imaging to look for early signs. CT and MRI scans can detect tumors, which is why kidney cancer is often found by chance during imaging for other conditions.
Your kidney cancer care team is typically led by a medical oncologist who works with the urologic surgeon. A radiation oncologist will also be part of the team if radiation therapy is recommended. The RMCC supportive care team will also be there to help you with questions, manage side effects, and support your mental and emotional health.
