Types of kidney cancer surgery
Curing cancer that has not spread
Stage 1 and 2 cancers are most likely to be curable with surgery. It is sometimes possible to cure stage 3 cancers with surgery if the surgeon can get all the cancer out. Either the whole kidney (radical nephrectomy) or just the affected part of the kidney (partial nephrectomy) can be removed.
This is the most common type of surgery for kidney cancer that has not spread. The surgeon will remove the whole kidney with the tissues around it, including the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is attached to the kidney. Some lymph nodes in the area will also be removed. The surgery is fairly major but if your cancer has not spread, this is all the treatment you will need.
This means removing the cancer and part of the kidney surrounding it. Some of the kidney is left behind. You may hear your doctor call this 'nephron sparing surgery'. The nephron is the filtering unit of the kidney, so this just means that you will have some working kidney left after the operation.
Nephron sparing surgery only used to be done in special cases, for example if
