title: [A case of lung metastasis from renal cell carcinoma showing complete response by a combination chemotherapy with methotrexate, vinblastine and pepleomycin (MVP)].
abstract: A 69-year-old woman visited our hospital with complaints of low grade fever and general fatigue in October 1990. Computed tomography (CT), ultrasonogram, and renal arteriography showed left renal tumor and she was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (T2M0N0). Left radical nephrectomy was performed in December 12, 1990. After operation, 3 x 10(6) unit per day of IFN-alpha were administered three times per week. She complained of low grade fever and general fatigue in June, 1991. CT showed left lung metastasis (phi 3 cm). She was given combined chemotherapy (MVP: methotrexate, vinblastine, pepleomycin). After 2 courses, lung metastasis decreased and after 4 courses, lung metastasis was not shown by CT in December, 1992. No evidence of relapse was shown by CT in June, 1994.
