My uncle always has frequent micturition and urgency. It's advanced renal cancer. After treatment, it's slightly improved. So, how to treat advanced renal cancer? Let's understand.

How to treat advanced renal cancer better

First, the sensitivity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is very low, the efficiency is only 10%. Moreover, chemotherapy itself is easy to produce drug resistance, and the specificity is also relatively poor.

Second: for metastatic renal cell carcinoma, the five-year survival rate of distant metastasis is generally about 5%, which is very low. At present, the treatment of renal cancer, in addition to surgery, there is no particularly good way. Surgery is best not only to cut off the kidney tumor, but also to cut off the metastatic lesions. For some patients with renal cancer, although the effect is better after surgery, there are still 1 / 3 people who will have metastasis after surgery. Therefore, the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma often requires more thorough and comprehensive.

Third: immunotherapy for renal cancer treatment, doctors will use interferon and interleukin such drugs. Among them, interleukin is likely to cure renal cancer, but its toxic reaction is too large. Whether interferon can improve the life span of patients is still uncertain.

matters needing attention

Cancer is incurable, for patients, the biggest benefit is long-term "survival with tumor", for patients with advanced and recurrence and metastasis, for patients with early cancer, the cure rate is also very low, and traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of cancer has been emphasizing the "survival with tumor" under the premise of improving the quality of life, prolong the survival period and other advantages.
