Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I need a second opinion on my mother's report. My mother was recently diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma and had her kidneys removed. I need advice on the best course of treatment.
Is cancer spreading fast? Please suggest treatment.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
I have reviewed your mother's reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity).
Based on the reports, I suggest she suffers from metastatic renal cell carcinoma, a high-grade, clear cell type.
In such cases, we go for surgery to minimize the tumor burden that she has already undergone.
I suggest a whole-body PET CT (positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan). It is usually recommended after surgery to find out the total disease extent. Also, I would like to know about certain things, like her general health and blood reports to determine her risk status.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
