What is the survival rate for kidney cancer? Does a doctor know if they got it all?


What is the survival rate for kidney cancer? Does a doctor know if they got it all?

This is a complicated question. "The best known way to estimate your prognosis is to compare it to the experience of other patients in a similar situation treated similarly, as represented by a survival curve."

Kidney cancer is like any other kind in the survival thing. I guess it all depends on the type of Kidney cancer. There are so many causes for kidney cancer. I believe that Faith (believing that you are gonna be okay) helps.If they remove the Kidney or the cancer you may have to get radiation for a short time . You will have to go have have tests done at least once a year to make sure they got it all or no cancer is forming. If you want to talk send me an email. I understand what you are going threw & will be able to give you support or advice or just listen. God Bless May the Lord help you threw this & help you go on

You might find that answer on this site.

no all doctors don't know if they got it all because some of the cancer hides in diffrent areas of your body

i think mabye all got it and mabye not ............that's up to the dohctor .

Best answer from a survivor himself:
ask Bruce Guillmet. He survived the KIdney cancer.

I had Kidney Cancer. They found the cancer in2000, & it was removed in 2001. It was my right one..They got all of it but I still have to be checked every year. My left kidney developed a problem(serious but not to bad) a cople years ago. It operates at 63% which haskept me off dialies. My biggest problem is I have uncontroled diebetes & it screws every thng up.
