Dr. Peng Xiaodong
Early signs of kidney cancer include abdominal mass, back pain, hematuria (blood in urine), unexplained weight loss, decreased appetite, and persistent pain in the side of the body that does not resolve spontaneously. Kidney cancer can be diagnosed at a local reputable hospital through various examinations such as laboratory tests, chest X-ray, ultrasound, abdominal CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radionuclide bone scanning, and renal dynamic imaging.
