HelloThanks for query. Your father who is 83 years old had episode of gross hematuria and have been detected to have mass in his Rt kidney. This is most likely to be a Renal Cell Carcinoma and needs further evaluation to find out extent of disease, spread of the disease to regional and para aortic lymph nodes, perinephric tissue and distant locations like lungs, liver etc. Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis as regards the extent of disease.
