Kidney cancer guideline recommends use of biopsies
More people with suspected kidney cancer should have a biopsy to help confirm their diagnosis sooner and treat their disease more effectively, according to new draft guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). A consultation on a new draft kidney cancer clinical guideline has been launched which provides a comprehensive overview of the diagnosis, treatment, and care of adults with suspected or confirmed renal cell carcinoma (a type of kidney cancer). The draft guideline has been developed with clinical experts and patients.
