How long can kidney cancer live

summary

When my grandfather first suffered from renal cancer, his family were very worried. Maybe it was because he found it early and the prognosis was very good. The survival period had a lot to do with the patient's condition. Let's see how long kidney cancer can live.

How long can kidney cancer live

First, the 5-year and 10-year survival rates were 35% - 40% and 17% - 30% respectively. The prognosis of renal cell carcinoma is sometimes difficult to estimate. Metastatic lesions can appear 20 years, 30 years or even longer after nephrectomy.

Secondly, renal cell carcinoma, also known as renal cell carcinoma, and renal adenocarcinoma, originate from renal tubular epithelial cells, which can occur in any part of renal parenchyma. However, the above and below are very common, and a few cases invade the whole kidney. The incidence rate of left and right kidney is equal, bilateral lesions account for 1%~2%, and the incidence of renal cell carcinoma is relatively high in cancer.

Finally: about 50% of renal cell carcinoma was localized in the kidney at the time of discovery, but 30% of renal cell carcinoma patients had distant metastasis at the time of initial diagnosis. 50% of patients had distant metastasis after operation. The survival rate of renal cell carcinoma was 50% at 3 years, 40% at 5 years and 20% at 10 years. Only 3% of renal cancer patients survive for 3 years without any treatment.
