What is the survival rate for kidney cancer?
Mr Walter Cazzaniga discusses survival rates for kidney cancer and why stage and grade influence long-term outcomes. He explains the value of prompt diagnosis, rapid assessment pathways and specialist multidisciplinary care, and in this video highlights the role of surgeons, oncologists, pathologists and geneticists.
Transcript
The survival rate for kidney cancer can vary depending on the stage and the grade of kidney cancer you are diagnosed.
Most people diagnosed early have excellent long-term oncological outcome.
It is therefore important to have a prompt diagnosis at The Royal Marsden Private Care.
We can offer a quick diagnostic pathway with patients with renal masses.
It's also important to be treated in a specialised centre where a team of clinicians, not just surgeons but also oncologists, pathologists and geneticists work together in defining your specific risk, your specific outcome and giving you the best treatment possible.
