Kidney cancer treatment has greatly changed over the past five years.
Diagnosis, which has become increasingly more accurate, has made it possible to distinguish several types of kidney cancers with extremely variable prognoses.
Genetics can now detect early forms of kidney cancer; therefore, it helps to improve any screening in patients at risk.
However, change has been particularly noticeable in both surgical and medical treatments.
More targeted, more accurate, better tolerated, easier to use, these treatments have not only improved survival rates but offered unprecedented hope in controlling cancerous illnesses with a better tolerance.
Nevertheless, there are still a great number of questions that the medical research needs to clarify.
This practical guide will help patients with this disease, and their friends and family, to find the answers to the genuine questions they have.
They will be better informed and better armed to respond to treatments.
This illustrated guide will also be an invaluable tool for doctors in their daily practice and concern about answering patients’ questions about kidney cancer with greater honesty, simplicity and expertise.
