[Metastatic renal carcinoma: regression of pulmonary metastasis and anemia after interleukin-2r immunotherapy].
Presentation of one case of bilateral renal adenocarcinoma in a 63-year old female patient, undergoing surgical therapy by means of right radical nephrectomy and left partial nephrectomy. Within 6 months, the patient presented pulmonary metastasis and normocytic anaemia associated to paraneoplastic syndrome. After initiating treatment with Interleukin-2 in intravenous continuous infusion, both pulmonary metastasis and anaemia showed evidence of partial regression.
