Suggest Treatment For Renal Carcinoma

my friend has a tumor that is attached to his kidney by a small stem of tissue-his urologist is pretty sure he has renal carcinoma, but I am unable to find any information about a cancer outside the kidney that is attached in this manner...would like more information or a name for this type of tumor/cancer..thank you!

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .
Your friend has tumor near kidney and has been suspected to be Renal Cell Carcinoma .

It is a protocol to do following investigations to confirm the diagnosis
1) C.T Scan of the Kidney Ureter and Bladder (KUB) plain and with I.V contrast
2) MRI
3) Renal Angiography .

It is not possible to pin point diagnosis only on radiological findings and sometimes needs Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy.. to confirm the histlogical diagnosis or by frozen section biopsy during surgery .

Since the nature of tumors differs in every case you can not get information on internet .
