Medical oncologist Arlyn Apollo greets a kidney cancer patient at our regional facility in Rockville Centre, Long Island — one of Memorial Sloan Kettering's several suburban treatment locations.
At MSK, we tailor kidney cancer treatment to you, based on your needs and overall health. Our kidney cancer experts use a team approach. We look at information such as:
- Your diagnosis
- The type, size, and location of the kidney tumor
- How deep the tumor is in your kidney
- How the tumor has grown or changed over time
- Whether the tumor has metastasized (spread)
- Other health problems that may be affected by your treatment
Specialists in all areas of kidney cancer will make a treatment plan just for you. They are experts in pathology, medical oncology, surgery, interventional radiology, radiation therapy, and supportive care. They work together to give you the best outcome possible.
