Hello
Thanks for query . Your father who is 83 years old had episode of gross hematuria and have been detected to have mass in his Rt kidney .
This is most likely to be a Renal Cell Carcinoma and needs further evaluation to find out extent of disease ,spread of the disease to regional and para aortic lymph nodes , perinephric tissue and distant locations like lungs ,liver etc .
Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis as regards the extent of disease .
