First-line treatments
Drug therapy and clinical monitoring
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Preoperative chemotherapy using vincristine, actinomycin D, and doxorubicin (or alternatives) to shrink the tumor before surgical resection. This approach may reduce surgical morbidity and allow renal-sparing techniques.
Surgical resection of tumor
Complete surgical excision of the tumor with adequate margins, which may include nephrectomy or kidney-sparing resection depending on tumor location and size. Complete resection is critical for cure.
Additional treatment options
Radiation therapy for local control
External beam radiation therapy to the tumor bed and adjacent lymph nodes for high-risk histologic features, advanced stage, or incomplete resection. Helps reduce local recurrence rates.
procedureMaintenance chemotherapy
Continued chemotherapy after surgery (and radiation if indicated) to eliminate micrometastatic disease. Regimens vary based on stage and histology, typically lasting 6-12 months total duration.
