Dr. Li Mingchuan
After recurrence and metastasis following surgery for early-stage kidney cancer, different symptoms may appear depending on the affected organs. If the cancer spreads to the lungs, symptoms such as coughing and hemoptysis (coughing up blood) may occur. If it metastasizes to the liver, patients may experience upper abdominal pain, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Recurrence after early-stage kidney cancer surgery may also cause low back or abdominal pain, as well as urinary urgency, frequency, and hematuria (blood in urine).
