Renal cell carcinoma.
We reviewed the total experience with renal cell carcinoma at West Virginia University Hospital since its opening 15 years ago. While the conclusions are not new, our series of 89 cases reemphasizes the capriciously ubiquitous nature of the disease. Varied presenting signs and symptoms are commented upon, and an attempt to relate stage, grade, and survival rates is made.
