[The effect of renal artery embolization on the results of treating kidney cancer patients].
To analyze the prognosis, 401 renal cancer cases were examined retrospectively and prospectively. There were 157 females and 244 males. Preoperative embolization of the renal artery resulted in longer survival: in stage T3 it increased from 44 to 60%, in stage T4 from 7 to 50%. After palliative nephrectomy the patients' mean survival reached 10.6 months against 16 months following palliative embolization of the kidney. Palliative embolization is thought the most effective intervention in inoperable cases of renal carcinoma.
