Kidney Cancer

Kidney Cancer

Kidney cancer often develops quietly, with many cases found incidentally during imaging done for unrelated reasons rather than through symptoms. Renal cell carcinoma is the most common form in adults, and treatment depends heavily on tumour size and whether it has spread beyond the kidney. At UMC Victoria Hospital, our Department of Cancer offers kidney cancer treatment in Kampala, Uganda, tailored to preserving kidney function where possible:

  • Imaging evaluation
    CT or MRI to characterise the tumour and check spread
  • Partial nephrectomy
    kidney-sparing surgery for smaller, localised tumours
  • Radical nephrectomy
    full kidney removal for larger or advanced tumours
  • Targeted therapy
    systemic treatment for metastatic disease
  • Renal function follow-up
    monitoring kidney health after treatment

Blood in the urine or unexplained pain below your ribs should be investigated promptly, even if it happens only once. Book an appointment with our team today.
