Suggest Treatment For Kidney Tumor
I had a CT scan and it showed a 2cm. hard tumor on my kidney. It is definitely cancerous or could it be benign? It has been suggested that instead of a needle biopsy, I have the entire tumor removed. I do agree with this and from what I know the only way to be sure if cancer or benign is by Pathology. Your opinion, please.
