Experts in Kidney Cancer Care

At Fred Hutch Cancer Center, our team of experts cares for people with kidney cancer every day. Kidney cancer is also called renal cell carcinoma, renal cancer or clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Your Fred Hutch urologic oncologist, radiation oncologist, pathologist and radiologist specialize in finding out the stage and specific features of your cancer. Together, they will design a custom treatment plan to get the best possible outcome for you.

Our Kidney Cancer Multispecialty Clinic provides all standard therapies for kidney cancer. We know how to choose the right ones for you and how to deliver them to give you the best chance at a full recovery. Our physicians and researchers also do clinical trials (also called clinical studies). Through these trials, we are able to offer you therapies that aren’t offered everywhere.

As part of our holistic approach, we’ll connect you with a group of world-class professionals for support, like registered dietitians, physical therapists and psychologists. We integrate supportive care services into your cancer treatment.

We know a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. Contact us for an appointment or second opinion.
