About kidney cancer
Kidney (renal cell) cancer starts in the lining of the kidney tubules. Many are now found early on scans done for other reasons. Surgery is the mainstay for localised disease, and targeted drugs or immunotherapy are used when the disease has spread.
Who is at higher risk
- Smoking
- Obesity
- High blood pressure
- Long-term dialysis
- Family history and inherited syndromes (e.g., VHL)
- Occupational exposures
Having a risk factor doesn’t mean you will get cancer.
How it’s diagnosed
CT or MRI of the abdomen characterises the mass; chest imaging completes staging. Biopsy is used selectively when results would change the plan.
Many of these tests can be arranged by your CION team in Vizag.
Treatment options
Your plan depends on the type and stage of the cancer and on your overall health. CION’s tumour board agrees on it with you.

Cancers We Treat
CION treats these and other cancers. Not sure about yours? Ask when you call.
1Can part of the kidney be saved?
Yes — for many small tumours, partial nephrectomy removes the tumour while preserving the rest of the kidney, protecting long-term kidney function.
2Is blood in urine always visible?
No. It can be microscopic and found only on urine testing. Visible, painless blood in urine should always be evaluated promptly.
3Does kidney cancer respond to chemotherapy?
Conventional chemotherapy works poorly for kidney cancer; targeted drugs and immunotherapy are the standard systemic options instead.
4Where is kidney cancer treated near Vizag?
CION’s doctors see patients in Vizag. Consultations, chemotherapy and many tests can be arranged locally; surgery and radiation are done at partner centres, and your team tells you where to go. Call 1800 202 8726 to check where and when.
5Is the tumour board review free?
Yes. Every case is discussed by CION’s tumour board of specialists from all its centres, at no charge. Tests and treatment are paid for separately, and you get a written estimate first.
