Kidney Cancer Treatment in Austin

Understanding Kidney Cancer

Kidney cancer, also known as renal cancer, originates in the cells of the kidneys, which are crucial for filtering blood and balancing electrolytes. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type, accounting for about 90% of all kidney cancers, and can form as single or multiple tumors in one or both kidneys.

The exact cause of kidney cancer is unknown, but it starts with cell mutations leading to uncontrollable growth. Risk factors include older age, smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, and inherited syndromes like von Hippel-Lindau disease.

Diagnosis involves physical exams, blood and urine tests, and imaging tests such as CT scans, MRI, or ultrasounds. Treatment options vary by disease stage and include surgery, targeted drug therapy, immunotherapy, and advanced CyberKnife radiation therapy.

What is the CyberKnife Treatment?

The CyberKnife system is a state-of-the-art radiation therapy device powered by high-tech robotics and precise computer guidance to target tumors with high-dose radiation.

It delivers radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy, ensuring that only the tumor receives the high dose while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.

Unlike traditional methods, the CyberKnife does not require surgery, making it a painless, non-surgical option for those diagnosed with kidney cancer.

Benefits of CyberKnife for Kidney Cancer Treatment

• Non Invasive: The CyberKnife offers a powerful option for inoperable tumors or patients seeking non-surgical treatment.
• High Precision: The CyberKnife uses real-time imaging and robotic agility to direct radiation from thousands of angles, enhancing effectiveness and reducing side effects.
• Real-Time Motion Synchronization: This feature compensates for patient movement, like breathing, ensuring accuracy throughout the session, crucial for organs like the kidney.
• Enhanced Comfort and Convenience: The treatment requires no general anesthesia, allowing patients to return to normal activities immediately, with minimal recovery time.
• High Success Rates: The CyberKnife’s precision allows higher doses of radiation to safely target kidney tumors, improving treatment success and preserving kidney function.
