Experience and confidence

ROC Clinic's medical team has extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Also dedicated to research in kidney cancer, our professionals provide individualized treatment with great surgical specialization, ensuring excellence in the care of each patient.

Multidisciplinary teams

In recent years, the management of many medical conditions, especially cancer, has been carried out with teams made up of different specialties involved in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The formation of multidisciplinary committees, in addition to ensuring comprehensive care for each person with kidney cancer, has shown improvement in patients.

When it comes to cancer, time is of the essence and every decision can make a critical difference in treatment planning. That's why at ROC Clinic, once diagnosed, our patients benefit from a comprehensive consultation service under a multidisciplinary approach that brings together the latest in research, technology and the expertise of the best professionals. We bring together disease-focused surgeons, oncologists and pathologists to perform a comprehensive evaluation of each case and assess treatment options. Our goal is that this collaborative approach allows our patients to clarify all their doubts in the consultation, to have a solid treatment plan and to feel confident that they have a group of specialists focused on their disease at their disposal.

This medical care model has led us to be among the best Urology services in the Spanish healthcare system.

Your quality of life is our goal

At ROC Clinic we provide excellent medical care with minimal disruption to our patients' lives. Therefore, we put all our effort in finding the safest, least complicated medical solution that allows you to quickly return to your normal life.

Among the surgical procedures performed to treat kidney cancer carried out by our medical team in the last year are the following:

36 partial nephrectomies, removing only the tumor and preserving most of the organ.
18 partial nephrectomies by robotic approach, minimizing complications and accommodating the postoperative period.
16 partial nephrectomies through a laparoscopic approach and 2 with open surgery.
18 radical nephrectomies, completely removing the affected kidney, 16 by laparoscopy and 2 by open surgery.

Patients who have undergone radical nephrectomy can maintain a good quality of life with only one kidney. We tell you what it is like to live with only one kidney in our blog.

How do you know if a cyst in the kidney is malignant?

To know if a kidney cyst is malignant, it is important to perform a series of studies and medical evaluations. The most common steps to determine the nature of a kidney cyst are: Renal ultrasound: ultrasound can show the shape and size of the cyst, as well as the presence of any suspicious features, such as irregular walls or inhomogeneous fluid. Computed tomography (CT): If the cyst has suspicious features on ultrasound, a CT scan may be done to obtain more detailed images. This helps to identify if there are solid masses within the cyst or changes in the cyst walls that suggest malignancy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): is useful to better characterize the cyst and may provide additional information about its composition. This is particularly useful if there is doubt after the CT scan. Bosniak classification: The Bosniak classification system is used to categorize renal cysts based on their appearance on imaging and help determine the risk of malignancy. Biopsy: In some cases, if the cyst is suspected to be malignant or if imaging tests are inconclusive, a renal biopsy may be performed to obtain a sample of the tissue and examine it under the microscope. In general, benign kidney cysts do not cause symptoms. However, if a cyst becomes large, it may cause pain in the back or abdomen. If the cyst is malignant, there may be additional symptoms such as blood in the urine, unexplained weight loss or fatigue.

Where does kidney cancer metastasize?

The most frequent areas to which kidney cancer can spread are the bones, liver, lungs, brain and distant lymph nodes.

What is the prognosis of kidney cancer?

In general, in patients with renal tumors under 4 cm that are treated surgically, cure rates of over 90% are achieved. If the mass is large and has spread outside the kidney, the prognosis is worse, especially if any of the following factors are present: anemia, high lactate dehydrogenase level, high blood calcium level, spread to two or more distant sites, or if the person's general condition is unfavorable.

Is kidney cancer curable?

Kidney cancer is curable in early stages. It is key that, once kidney cancer is treated, the patient is followed closely. In advanced stages of the tumor, surgery can help palliate symptoms and, in selected patients, can be combined with other treatments such as chemotherapy or immunotherapy to improve survival and quality of life.
