Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There is no role for kidney transplant in renal cancer. Generally renal cell cancer affect one kidney only and opposite kidney will be normal in most of the cases. If the cancer spread to distant sites, then palliative chemo-radiation might be the only option left. You can consult an oncologist and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
