The slightest suspicion of kidney cancer is an indication for ultrasound.

In most cases (70-80%), kidney cancer is detected at an early stage. Early detection of kidney cancer enables complete cure.

Five-year survival in stage I is 90%, in stage II- 75-90% and in stage III- 60-70%. On the other hand, diagnosis of cancer at stage IV gives a very poor prognosis, and the patient's life expectancy does not exceed several months.
