[Prognosis and therapy of kidney carcinoma in a retrospective study in 624 patients].
624 patients, who were treated for carcinoma of the kidney between 1966 and 1987 were analysed in a retrospective study. Prognosis depended in tumor size, lymphatic metastases, and tumor grading. Tumor spread into the renal veins or into the vena cava without lymphatic metastases did not reduce life expectancy. Different symptoms are important as prognostic criteria. Small tumors without spread into the veins can be sufficiently operated from a lumbo costal incision. Preoperative radiation is no beneficial.
