Kidney Cancer Treatment Options at Mandaya Puri
Here are the available kidney cancer treatments at Mandaya Puri, which can be tailored to each patient’s condition:
1. Nephrectomy with the Da Vinci Xi Robot
In most cases where cancer is still confined to the kidney, nephrectomy (kidney removal surgery) is the primary treatment. The goal is to remove cancer cells while preserving as much kidney function as possible.
Nephrectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part or all of the kidney, commonly performed to treat kidney cancer. There are two main types: radical nephrectomy, which removes the entire kidney, and partial nephrectomy, which removes only the affected portion while preserving healthy tissue.
At Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital, nephrectomy can now be performed using advanced robotic technology such as the Da Vinci Xi. This system features four precision robotic arms controlled by the surgeon through a high-resolution 3D console, providing clearer and more detailed visualization of the surgical area.
With flexible arms that mimic human hand movements, the system allows surgeons to reach difficult areas more accurately, helping improve surgical outcomes.
2. Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams, such as X-rays or protons, to destroy cancer cells. During the procedure, patients lie on a treatment table while a machine moves around the body, directing radiation precisely to the targeted area. In kidney cancer, radiation therapy can be used to kill cancer cells in the kidney and help relieve symptoms if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, such as the bones or brain.
3. Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy uses medications designed to attack specific components of cancer cells. By blocking substances or processes that help cancer grow, this treatment can slow or stop cancer progression and even destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
4. Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy helps the body’s immune system recognize and fight cancer cells. Normally, cancer cells can evade the immune system. With immunotherapy, the immune system becomes better equipped to detect and destroy these cells. In kidney cancer, immunotherapy may be used after surgery to eliminate remaining cancer cells or in advanced cases where the cancer has grown or spread.
5. Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses strong drugs to kill cancer cells, typically administered through a vein. However, most kidney cancers tend to be less responsive to chemotherapy. Even so, it may still be used in certain rare types of kidney cancer.
