For older adults, a diagnosis can raise unique concerns about treatment options, side effects, and overall quality of life. Fortunately, advances in medicine have made it possible to manage kidney cancer more effectively while considering the specific needs of seniors. From minimally invasive surgeries to targeted therapies and supportive care, treatment plans can now be tailored to each individual\u2019s health status, lifestyle, and goals.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog, we\u2019ll explore how kidney cancer is treated in seniors and how families and caregivers can help support loved ones through recovery and beyond.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the role of the kidneys?<\/h2>\n<p>The kidneys are an important organ in the human body. They filter waste and extra water from the blood and produce urine. When kidneys become damaged, they are no longer able to perform this job efficiently. Seniors who develop kidney disease are at a greater risk for developing kidney cancer.<\/p>\n<h2>What is kidney cancer?<\/h2>\n<p>Kidney cancer begins in the kidneys when healthy cells start to grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. As the tumor develops, it can damage nearby healthy tissue and affect normal kidney function. In some cases, the cancer stays confined to the kidneys, while in others, it may spread to other parts of the body.<\/p>\n<p>While the exact cause of kidney cancer is unknown, seniors with certain risk factors are more likely to develop it. These include smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, and long-term use of painkillers such as ibuprofen or naproxen. Exposure to chemicals like asbestos, cadmium, and trichloroethylene can also increase risk, as can a family history of kidney disease or frequent kidney stones.<\/p>\n<p>Older adults are especially at risk\u2014most diagnoses occur around age 65, with rates peaking near 75. Men are twice as likely to develop kidney cancer as women, though overall mortality rates have been declining in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other kidney issues can worsen kidney health in seniors. Learn more about this connection in our blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/47\/illinois\/batavia\/blog\/uti-high-blood-pressure\/\">Can a UTI Cause High Blood Pressure in the Elderly?<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What are symptoms of kidney cancer?<\/h2>\n<p>At first, kidney cancer produces no noticeable symptoms. Over time, however, seniors with this cancer develop signs and symptoms. These include red, pink, or cola-colored blood in the urine, loss of appetite, and unexplained weight loss. Seniors may also feel chronic pain in the back and tiredness.<\/p>\n<p>Additional symptoms include a lump or swelling in the kidney area or abdomen. The older adult may experience a sensation of something blocking their bowels. A fever may develop and return repeatedly. The elderly with kidney disease feel a general sense of ill health.<\/p>\n<h2>How is kidney cancer treated in seniors?<\/h2>\n<p>Older adults who experience any of these worrying symptoms are advised to schedule an appointment with their doctor. The physician will conduct a physical exam, perform blood tests and imaging tests, such as CT scans or MRIs, and take a biopsy to arrive at a diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>If kidney cancer is the culprit behind the senior\u2019s symptoms, treatment is started. Treatment options depend on how advanced the cancer is, the type of kidney cancer (such as renal cell carcinoma or transitional cell carcinoma), and the elderly patient\u2019s overall health.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Surgery<\/h3>\n<p>Seniors may opt for surgery to remove the cancer while preserving kidney function. A complete nephrectomy removes the entire cancerous kidney via a single incision in the abdomen. Or a partial nephrectomy can be elected, which surgically removes only the tumor from the affected kidney.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Cryoablation or Radiofrequency Ablation<\/h3>\n<p>A non-surgical treatment option is cryoablation, ideal for smaller kidney cancers. During the procedure, the physician inserts a hollow needle into the kidneys and administers a cold gas to freeze cancer cells. Alternatively, in radiofrequency ablation, an electrical current is sent into cancer cells to burn them.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy<\/h3>\n<p>Seniors who are not candidates for surgery due to health risks or age may receive radiation therapy. Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is a safe and non-invasive option for inoperable kidney cancers. It delivers a high dose of radiation to the tumor with minimal damage to healthy tissue.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Immunotherapy<\/h3>\n<p>Cancer-killing drugs are prescribed in immunotherapy. The medicine helps the senior\u2019s immune system fight off cancer cells. Immunotherapy may be used after surgery to kill any lingering cancer cells or when the kidney cancer grows large. Despite its efficacy, the drugs can cause more side effects in the elderly.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Targeted Therapy<\/h3>\n<p>Targeted therapy is another drug treatment option whereby medicines attack specific chemicals in the cancer cells. As the drugs block the chemicals, cancer cells die. Older patients, however, are at risk for more side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues and fatigue, that cause them to discontinue treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Older people diagnosed with kidney cancer are given a five-year survival rate. This means seniors can live at least five years after their diagnosis. However, prognosis is determined by overall health, age and the type of cancer. The senior\u2019s doctor can provide the most realistic prognosis.<\/p>\n<p>Seniors reduce their risk of kidney cancer by maintaining a healthy weight, eating more fruits and vegetables, and exercising at least 30 minutes on most days of the week. It\u2019s also critical they control high blood pressure, stop smoking, and limit their alcohol intake.<\/p>\n<h2>Home Care from Assisting Hands Batavia, Illinois<\/h2>\n<p>While kidney cancer cannot be fully prevented, making healthy lifestyle choices can reduce the risk.
