Abstract

Prognostic factors have been described in metastatic renal cell cancer: performance status, weight loss, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, presence of liver metastases. The treatment for a patient with good prognosis consists of: surgical exeresis of solitary metastasis, immunotherapy by either interferon or interleukin 2. Treatment in case of a rom prognosis is a combination of supportive care, orthopedic surgery for pathologic fracture or medullar compression, antalgic radiotherapy, embolization, nephrectomy for hematuria, and analgesic treatments.
