• ultrasound of urinary system, abdominal cavity organs – visualization of shape, size of kidneys and approximate location of cancer;
• computed tomography, MRI – to specify location of tumor, its size and presence of metastases.

• Cryoablation. Under ultrasound control, a doctor uses a special needle fоr freezing of lesions with liquid nitrogen;
• Radiofrequency ablation – beamed radiation destroys tumor (if it sizes up to 2 cm);
• Embolization of renal artery. The kidney is previously “deactivated” to prevent metastasizing and decrease a risk of bleeding during following nephrectomy;
