Current Treatment Options for Kidney Cancer
There are a number of options for cancer
treatment currently available for kidney cancer,
which can be broadly divided into two main
categories surgical and nonsurgical. Surgical
treatments include radical nephrectomy (removal
of the entire kidney), partial nephrectomy
(removal of part of the kidney), and cryoablation
(destruction of the tumor with extreme cold).
Nonsurgical treatments include ablation therapies
(destruction of the tumor with heat or other
energy sources), embolization therapies (blockage
of blood flow to the tumor), and targeted
therapies (drugs that target specific molecules
involved in cancer cell growth). The best
treatment option for an individual patient
depends on a variety of factors, including the
stage and grade of the tumor, the patients
overall health and fitness, and personal
preferences. Treatment decisions should be made
by a team of specialists who are experienced in
treating kidney cancer.

• Clinical Trials for New Kidney Cancer Treatments
• The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is the
  government organization responsible for cancer
  research in the United States. NCIs Division of
  Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) conducts
  and supports clinical trials for new cancer
  treatments, including kidney cancer treatments.
• There are different types of clinical trials,
  each with its own purpose. Some clinical trials
  test new treatments to find out if they are safe
  and effective. Other trials test new ways to
  deliver treatments or new combinations of drugs.
  And still, other trials focus on the quality of
  life or symptom management.
• Kidney cancer clinical trials are an important
  part of developing new treatments for this
  disease. Through clinical trials, researchers can
  learn whether a new treatment is safe and
  effective and how well it works. Clinical trials
  also provide an opportunity to study different
  aspects of care, such as side effects from
  treatment, how patients manage their symptoms,
  and quality-of-life issues.
