When you’re diagnosed with kidney cancer, you want the most experienced specialists on your care team. At the Henry Ford Cancer Institute, our team has performed more than 4,000 renal surgeries and pioneered a kidney-sparing surgical procedure, called robotic partial nephrectomy. We’ve also developed innovative techniques to preserve kidney function during surgery and to shorten your hospital stay.
Our team treats more than 250 patients each year for kidney cancer and other cancers that can develop in the renal system. As our patient, you can expect:
Our team will be with you every step of the way to provide the answers and resources you need throughout treatment and recovery, as well as a survivorship clinic to manage your post-treatment care.
Our cancer team is here for you in-person, by phone and virtually for all your cancer care needs.
Two brother made the decision to receive robotic kidney surgery, a procedure that is less invasive, saves the kidney when possible, and gets patients out of the hospital within a few days.
Our kidney cancer care team will create a personalized treatment plan based on your cancer diagnosis, your health needs, and your concerns. We use the most advanced surgery techniques, including kidney-saving surgery whenever possible, to offer you the best outcome.
Your treatment may include:
Our team, led by Dr. Craig Rogers, continuously works to develop new treatment options, for even the most advanced kidney cancers. Dr. Rogers also leads our von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) clinic, which brings together experts from more than a dozen specialties to help patients navigate this complex, hereditary cancer syndrome. We have been recognized as a VHL Clinical Care Center by the VHL Alliance.
We also performed a world-first procedure for metastatic kidney cancer. The procedure involved suctioning a kidney cancer tumor from a patient’s vena cava (a vein that carries blood into the heart), followed by minimally invasive surgery to remove the kidney. The patient then participated in a clinical trial that involved using genetic material from the tumor to produce a vaccine to fight the disease.
