A growth on a kidney removed from the conductor James Levine was malignant, but the cancer was caught early and no further treatment is needed, the Boston Symphony Orchestra said. Doctors in New York removed the right kidney last week because the growth was causing Levine, the 65-year-old music director of both the BSO and the Metropolitan Opera, pressure and discomfort. The surgery forced him to miss the remainder of the BSO's Tanglewood season. Levine's brother, Tom Levine , said that doctors found a malignant growth on the kidney, but that it was very small and confined. "Doctors reported the surgery was completely curative and no further treatment is necessary," he said.
