Hi,
Cancer of kidney less than 4 cm in size to be operated by nephron sparing surgery. Probably your doctor has selected this operation. If the kidney is not functioning well dialysis is the only possibility left . Regarding his oncological problem, he has got excellent prognosis as the tumor is at stage I most probably. For the renal problem consult nephrologist.
