Thank you for sharing your story with this community. How long someone needs oncology care after kidney cancer surgery, including a partial nephrectomy, can look different for each person. Follow-up plans often depend on factors like pathology results, tumor type, and genetic findings, so the care team is the best source for a personalized schedule. It may help to ask them how often scans and visits are recommended, and other members may be glad to share what their kidney cancer follow-up has looked like.
