[Therapeutic results in kidney cancer. Prognostic significance of local tumor involvement. Report on experiences].
179 patients suffering from renal cell carcinoma, who were given surgical treatment, were controlled after operation in order to establish the rate of short time survival and the beginning formation of metastases. A more favorable prognosis can be established for those patients, whose locally confined tumor with cava thrombus was radically removed than for those with lymph node-metastases exclusively. Our results tend to justify the radical retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. By eliminating locally confined metastases simultaneously in adjacent organs living quality of the patients might be ameliorated.
