How to diagnose renal cancer

summary

Now more and more people suffer from renal cancer, but the symptoms of renal cancer have a lot to go on, and the symptoms of clinical medicine are similar to those of other diseases. Some time ago, my second uncle was diagnosed with renal cancer. When he went to the hospital, he didn't know what to check. Now I'll tell you how to diagnose renal cancer.

How to diagnose renal cancer

First: abdominal B ultrasound or color Doppler ultrasound, most of the renal tumors are first found by B ultrasound. About 80% of incidental renal cell carcinoma was first detected by B-ultrasound. However, generally speaking, it is difficult to find renal tumors with a diameter of less than 1.5cm. Generally speaking, if you need to do a check, you must do B-ultrasound. If you want to be more accurate, you can do color ultrasound.

Second: abdominal CT plain scan and enhanced scan, the examination is currently the gold standard for the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma. At present, about 90% of renal cell carcinoma is diagnosed by plain and enhanced CT scan of upper abdomen. CT plays an important role in preoperative staging. If it's not staged, there's no need to do this project, because this project needs to be done in phases.

Third: MRI has the same value as CT in the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma, but it is usually used to evaluate the presence and location of renal vein and vena cava tumor thrombus. The latest research shows that MRI has a certain role in judging the pathological type and staging of renal cell carcinoma. If it is renal cell carcinoma staging, we must do this examination project, this project can play a certain therapeutic role.
