Transcript
The Royal Malden Private Care is a specialised centre for kidney cancer and therefore we tend to tailor the treatment to the patient that we have in front.
We have state of the art surgical options including kidney preservation surgery, partial nephrectomy or radical nephrectomy depending on the size of the tumour you have and we also have state of the art chemotherapy or immunotherapy regime that can apply to patients who have unfortunately a widespread disease.
The treatment pathway is discussed in a multi-disciplinary meeting that happens weekly in order to tailor and bespoke the treatment to your specific needs.
