Kidney Cancer

Kidney Cancer - Diagnosis

Tests and procedures used to diagnose kidney cancer include:

Ultrasound or Computed Tomography (CT) scan
- Detailed images of the kidney are taken to show the size, characteristics and extent of spread of the kidney tumour.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan
- A scan that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce a detailed image of the kidneys.
Biopsy
- Samples of kidney tumour tissue are removed and examined under the microscope to confirm the presence of cancer.
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan
- A detailed body scan that can help to investigate confirmed cases of kidney cancer to see if the cancer has spread and how well it is responding to treatment.
Cystoscopy
- Cystoscopy is a test to look at the inside of the bladder. It is usually used for patients who have a kidney tumour and blood in the urine. A cystoscope contains a lens and light system that helps the doctor see the inside of the urethra, prostate and bladder to identify any additional tumours.
