How is kidney cancer treated

summary

Some time ago, a friend of mine found out that he had cancer and was in hospital for treatment. His physical condition didn't seem to be very good. I'm very worried about his condition. Now I'll introduce how to treat renal cancer.

How is kidney cancer treated

First, renal cancer surgery is divided into simple nephrectomy and radical nephrectomy. Currently, it is recognized that radical nephrectomy can improve the survival rate. Radical nephrectomy includes perirenal fascia, perirenal fat, kidney and adrenal gland. It is controversial whether radical nephrectomy should be performed with local lymph node dissection.

Second, some people think that when lymph node metastases, there are often blood metastases, and the cases with lymph node metastases eventually have blood metastases. Lymph nodes are widely distributed, and it is not easy to clean up. However, some people think that lymph node metastases are mainly near the renal hilum; The inferior vena cava and aorta can be resected radically, but the patients with metastasis found by radical lymphadenectomy are rarely survived for more than 5 years.

Third, the renal artery and vein should be ligated first in the operation of renal cell carcinoma, which can reduce the bleeding and tumor spread. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a multivessel tumor with large collateral veins. It is easy to bleed and difficult to control. Therefore, selective renal artery embolization can be performed before operation for large tumor, which can cause severe pain, fever, intestinal paralysis, infection and so on.

matters needing attention

There are many treatment methods for renal cancer. The specific treatment method also depends on the development of the disease, but the most direct is to carry out surgical treatment, which can be cured, but some of the more serious diseases can not be cured even by surgery.
