Kidney cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. However, if diagnosed at an early stage, we can talk about effective treatments and even cures. However, the latter is possible only when the tumor has not touched other organs.
Infection and / or kidney stones
At first, a cancer in the kidneys occurs virtually asymptomatic. Or symptoms are similar to other problems - such as some infectious disease or the presence of stones.
UTI (urinary tract infection) - the so-called all inflammatory processes occurring in any one or several parts of the urinary system of the body. To human health, such processes are generally not represent a serious danger and cured with antibiotics without any problems.
Kidney stones - is, of course, extremely unpleasant and painful, but it's still not Oncology. Help get rid of small drugs, and larger crushed using a laser or ultrasound.
What are the symptoms suggest kidney cancer?
Alert the person must:
- blood in the urine (there can be no "alert", then it is necessary to run headlong to the urologist);
- constant back pain (in its lower part, sides or one side);
- fatigue (right "chronic");
- loss of appetite;
- drastic weight loss;
- high blood pressure that lasts a long time and did not go astray;
- febrile seizures.
Furthermore, it can be observed: night sweats, aches in bones, lymph node enlargement (primarily in the neck). However, it has symptoms of the condition at the time of the transition of the tumor to other organs.
Timeliness as a guarantee of healing
All of the above symptoms should be checked immediately. It is unlikely that the majority of applied cancer, but timely diagnosis still does not harm anyone. Only went to the benefit.
If, however, still found oncology, prospects of development of the disease depends on how big the tumor is and how much it has spread. When metastasis does not extend beyond the kidney, oncology completely beatable surgically. A lot of small, slow growing tumors may not need treatment. But if the area of cancer spread is large, full recovery is impossible. Although the disease can be kept under control. This, however, would require the patient patience and accuracy in dosing. But it gives a few years, almost a full life.
