The diagnosis of RCC typically involves a combination of imaging studies and laboratory tests:
Ultrasound: Often the first imaging test used to evaluate kidney abnormalities. CT Scan: Provides detailed images of the kidneys and can help in staging the cancer. MRI: Used for patients who cannot undergo a CT scan or for more detailed imaging. Biopsy: May be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Blood and urine tests to assess kidney function and overall health.
