HI
Thanks for your query.
The size of the cyst is quite big.
So I would recommend a CT scan or an MRI to rule out cancer (if these are not already done).
There is no medical therapy available at present to treat renal cysts.
Once you have the results of the scan we can decide if any further therapy is required.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
