Renowned Urologist Dr. Bhoopat Bhati, based in Viman Nagar, Pune, is making waves in the field of urology with his expertise and dedication. His recent feature in THE WEEK magazine's May edition sheds light on kidney cancer, particularly renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the most common type. RCC originates from the kidney's tiny filtering tubes and can disrupt kidney function as abnormal cells form masses. Dr. Bhati emphasizes key risk factors, including smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, and genetic predisposition. He highlights the challenge of silent growth in RCC, often presenting no symptoms in the early stages. However, as the tumor progresses, symptoms such as blood in urine, flank pain, palpable abdominal mass, weight loss, and fatigue may arise. Dr. Bhati stresses the importance of timely diagnosis, which involves a physical exam, imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scan, urine tests, and, if necessary, biopsy. Treatment options for RCC vary based on factors like tumor stage, size, overall health, and kidney function, with approaches ranging from surgery to targeted therapy. Dr. Bhati's comprehensive insights offer valuable guidance in the management of kidney cancer, reflecting his commitment to patient care and advancing urological treatment.
