Kidney cancer and renal pelvic cancer are two different types of kidney malignancies, and kidney cancer is more common than renal pelvic cancer. They differ in terms of where they occur, how they occur, and how they occur.
Kidney cancer and renal pelvic cancer occur at different sites. Kidney cancer occurs in the parenchymal part of the kidney, including the renal cortex or renal medulla. Kidney cancer is associated with genetic mutations. Whereas, renal pelvic cancer occurs in the urinary tract of the kidneys, i.e., the renal pelvis or calyces, and its occurrence is related to toxins in the urine, and a few people also have genetic factors.
The symptoms of kidney cancer and renal pelvis cancer are also different. Kidney cancer usually has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and as the tumor grows, symptoms such as hematuria, low back pain, and abdominal mass may appear, and some patients present with "paratumor syndrome". The symptoms of renal pelvic cancer are relatively early and obvious, mainly including hematuria, low back pain, etc., because these symptoms are similar to common urological diseases, they are often misdiagnosed.
In terms of **, the approach to kidney cancer and renal pelvic cancer is also different. Renal cancer** usually uses surgical resection, targeted drugs and immuno**, etc., according to the different tumor stage and grade, ** the plan will also be different, surgical removal of the affected kidney, perirenal fat and part of the ureter. Renal pelvic cancer** is usually treated with surgical resection, chemotherapy and immunoleast** to remove the affected kidney and the full-length ureter.
