How to treat advanced renal cancer

Second, renal cell carcinoma can also be treated by chemotherapy, radiotherapy and biological therapy. Although the curative effect is uncertain, great progress has been made in recent years, especially biological therapy.

Chemotherapy commonly used drugs are: cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine and bleomycin.
