[Renal carcinoma with vena cava invasion. A new case].
It is well known that the renal carcinoma can progress to the renal vein and cava. The MRI is the most accurate study in order to assay the extension of the thrombus. The surgical management is based on the extension and location of the thrombus. New immunologic-based treatment is now being tested. We describe our experience with surgical management of the one case of renal carcinoma with cava vein thrombus. No evidence of progression is noted after 18 month follow up.
