Recently, the "Medical Line Observation" column of Chinanews.com invited Zhang Qian, chief physician of the Department of Urology of Peking University First Hospital and president of Peking University Binhai Hospital, to interpret the topic of kidney cancer prevention and treatment.
If I have kidney cancer, does the whole kidney need to be removed?
Zhang Qian said that the first thing to look at is the size and location of the tumor. "It's like an apple that rots. It rots on the apple's flesh. Just shave it off, and the apple can still be eaten. But if the area of the apple is very large, or Its long position is exactly where the core of the apple is, so the kidneys may not be preserved."
