I'm sorry to hear about the "bonus" kidney cancer, but it seems you are having things planned and necessary action will be taken.

Rotten news but at least its low grade. Good that you are onto it. Hopefully it can be treated quickly. Just wondering what alerted you to check on it? Are there signs I should check for in my husband?

HiI did a Dt(CT) scan and they discovered the unknown thing in my right kidney and they decided to make a BIOPSY to be sure. My history is a prostate cancer,

[NickJoy in reply to NOCanceros]

Thank you - I hope all goes well with the new treatment. BTW I enjoy your posts - always something interesting!

[NOCanceros in reply to NickJoy]

HiYou are welcome.

Bummer but Sounds like you caught the 2nd cancer early. Can they zap it?

[NOCanceros in reply to Scout4answers]

hiI hope so.

How big is it? Small localized renal carcinomas may be safely monitored with annual CTs.

[NOCanceros in reply to Tall_Allen]

HiAccording to my BIOPSY they told me its a Its 1.6 cm clear cell carcinoma Malignancy grade 1. and i will soon talk to a specialist for kidneys. I did a contact to my oncology Dr. in Germany he told me you will receive surgery for the renal tumor. Depending on size, site and access to blood vessels.

[Tall_Allen in reply to NOCanceros]

Mine is also 1.6 cm and I'm on active surveillance for it. No need for an unnecessary surgery.

In fact, my kidney oncologist has recommended against even getting a biopsy because I would do exactly the same thing if it is benign or cancerous. I just get annual imaging with no need for any kind of intervention unless it grows.

If it grows, I could opt for SBRT or a "lumpectomy." But I can decide at that time - there are usually more options later.

HelloI forgot to mention on the right of my kidney in 2015 it was 4mm and after 7 years to 1.6cm what do you suggest about the growth, Thanks.

[Tall_Allen in reply to NOCanceros]

Read what the data say in those references.

[Medline]

Bicalutamide can cause renal injury and fibrosis through multiple mechanisms, including androgen deprivation, But co-treatment with testosterone may clinically reduce these adverse effects.

Higher androgen receptor expression predicts longer survival in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Therefore, maintaining or restoring androgen receptor expression could have therapeutic benefits.
