[Relative value of adjuvant nephrectomy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma].
Treatment results were evaluated by 101 cases of kidney-cell carcinomas, and the relative importance of adjunctive nephrectomy discussed. Radial nephrectomy was done in 28.7% and palliative (predominantly adjunctive), in 38.6% of the patients. Postoperatively died 7.6% of the nephrectomized patients. 13.8% of the radically operated survived more than 5 years. The average survival time of the palliatively nephrectomized patients was 12.9 months; it was principally independent of hormonal or cytostatic adjunctive therapy. Furthermore, a case of complete regression of multiple pulmonal metastases after nephrectomy is reported.
