Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I need a second opinion on my mother's report. My mother was recently diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma and had her kidneys removed. I need advice on the best course of treatment.

Is cancer spreading fast?

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

I have reviewed your mother's reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity).

Based on the reports, I suggest she suffers from metastatic renal cell carcinoma, a high-grade, clear cell type. In such cases, we go for surgery to minimize the tumor burden that she has already undergone. I suggest a whole-body PET/CT (positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan).

It is usually recommended after surgery to find out the total disease extent. Also, I would like to know about certain things, like her general health and blood reports, to determine her risk status.

I hope this has helped you.

Please feel free to reach out in case of further queries.

Thank you.
