What is evaluated first?

Tumour size, location and cancer stage help guide treatment decisions.

Why does tumour size matter?

Tumours smaller than 4 cm may allow for partial nephrectomy surgery.

Why is tumour location important?

Tumours near critical structures require careful surgical planning and precision.

How does cancer stage affect treatment?

Cancer spread beyond the kidney may require additional targeted therapy.

What else is considered?

Kidney function and overall health are considered before choosing surgery.
