Kidney cancer treatment depends on tumor size, location, and kidney function. Your advocate coordinates between specialists, helps you understand options from partial nephrectomy to ablation, and ensures treatment plans consider your overall kidney health. They guide decisions that balance cancer control with kidney preservation.
Kidney surgery ranges from nephron-sparing to radical nephrectomy. Your advocate finds experienced urologic oncologists, coordinates pre-surgical optimization, and ensures proper post-operative monitoring. They help you understand what to expect and support recovery after kidney surgery.
Advanced kidney cancer often requires expensive targeted medications. Your advocate navigates insurance approvals, finds patient assistance programs, and coordinates with specialty pharmacies. They ensure you can access modern treatments regardless of cost barriers.

With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
Small kidney tumors may not need immediate treatment, but choosing surveillance versus intervention is complex. Solace advocates coordinate regular imaging for active surveillance, help determine when treatment becomes necessary, and explore nephron-sparing options. They ensure appropriate monitoring intervals, coordinate biopsies when needed, and support informed decisions. Your advocate helps you avoid overtreatment while ensuring safety.
Some kidney cancers are hereditary, requiring genetic testing and family screening. Solace advocates coordinate genetic counseling and testing, help families understand cancer risks, and ensure appropriate screening protocols. They connect you with VHL or other syndrome specialists, coordinate screening for related tumors, and support family planning decisions. Your advocate manages the genetic complexities of hereditary kidney cancer.
After kidney cancer treatment, protecting remaining kidney function becomes critical for long-term health. Solace advocates monitor kidney function closely, coordinate nephrology care when needed, and ensure medications are kidney-safe. They help manage blood pressure and diabetes, coordinate dietary modifications for kidney protection, and prevent further kidney damage. Your advocate safeguards your kidney health after cancer treatment.
Advanced kidney cancer requires complex treatment with immunotherapy and targeted agents. Solace advocates coordinate between multiple oncology specialists, navigate clinical trial opportunities, and manage side effects from systemic therapy. They ensure brain metastases are monitored, coordinate palliative radiation when needed, and support quality of life. Your advocate manages advanced kidney cancer comprehensively while maintaining hope.
