New here: Does anyone have views on, ablation v removal? Concerned that removal is a major op, but ablation may not get everything albeit the 'easier' procedure. What size of tumour decides option? I am 3 times on the cancer 2WW in 4 years, but in the early days (?) How fast do these things grow?

    Hi @oops I did it again

    Kidney cancer is a slow grower, compared with most other cancers.

    Worth asking your surgeon/ oncologist re ablation v removal  or try our " ask an expert" service. 

    Sorry I can't b  of more help. I had removal 16 years ago. Ablation wasn't given me as an option then.

    Perhaps someone else in the group can help?
