[Complete remission of lung metastasis of renal cell carcinoma by (UFT) therapy].
A case of multiple lung metastasis of renal cell carcinoma in which complete remission was obtained with administration of UFT (Tegafur + Uracil) is reported. The patient was a 58-year-old male, who already received right nephrectomy and previous chemotherapy. However, because the chemotherapy was ineffective, UFT was administered orally at a dose of 400 mg every day. Response of the lung lesion was observed 10 weeks after starting (UFT) therapy and complete disappearance of the lesion was obtained 6 months later. The duration of complete response lasted 6 months. This case suggests that UFT could be a useful anticancer drug against advanced renal cell carcinoma.
