How is a left kidney tumor treated?

The treatment plan for left kidney tumors is typically tailored according to the tumor's characteristics, stage, and the patient's overall condition. For early-stage tumors that have not invaded the renal pelvis, renal capsule, or surrounding organs, and in the absence of symptoms such as hematuria or flank pain, options may include radical nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy. In advanced stages, when surgery is not suitable, targeted therapies such as sunitinib or pazopanib, or combined immunotherapy, may be used to alleviate symptoms and prolong survival. Additionally, radiofrequency ablation is appropriate for small, low-grade malignant tumors, using high temperature to induce coagulative necrosis of the tumor tissue. Prior to treatment, a comprehensive physical examination should be conducted to assess the patient's condition, and medical advice should be followed to select the most suitable treatment approach. Maintaining proper nutritional support and adequate rest are also essential components throughout the treatment process.
