[Cancer of the kidney in adult. Report of an homogeneous series of eighty cases (author's transl)].
The authors report their experience of cancer of the kidney in adults involving a homogeneous series of eighty operated cases. They draw from this experience several conclusions concerning the clinical, diagnostic, therapeutical and prognostic aspects and underline three points; the interest of arteriography combined with embolization, the significance of an enlarged nephrectomy without lymphatic evidement, carried out with the least damage possible, and the abandoning of pre- and postoperative radiotherapy. Results seem encouraging since the survival rate reaches respectively 87,5 p. cent after five years and 66,9 p. cent after ten years for stage I, 55,5 p. cent after five years and 40 p. cent after ten years for stage II.
