Can advanced renal cancer be cured

summary

One of my friends suffered from kidney cancer for some reasons, and his health was particularly bad. Because of improper treatment, his condition became very serious, and he has become an advanced stage of renal cancer. The doctor said that as long as he cooperated with the treatment, he could prolong the survival period. Next, I will tell you whether advanced renal cancer can be cured.

Can advanced renal cancer be cured

First: renal cancer surgery is divided into simple nephrectomy and radical nephrectomy, currently recognized as radical nephrectomy can improve the survival rate. 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. 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.

Second: immunotherapy. For many years, it has been proved that lymphocytes in human solid tumors have an immune response to their tumor cells, but the cytotoxic effect of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) on autologous tumors is often low. Because of the inhibitory mechanism in tumors, til cells need to be stimulated and expanded in vitro to give full play to their cytotoxic effect on autologous tumors. Normal human lymphocytes and interleukin-2 (IL-2) culture can produce effector cells called lymphokine activated killer cells (LAK cells).

Third: chemotherapy, renal cancer chemotherapy effect is not good, single drug treatment effect is worse. According to the statistics of experts, 37 kinds of chemotherapy drugs are used in the treatment of renal cancer, among which alkylating agents are the most effective. The combination of vinblastine + methotrexate + bleomycin + tamoxifen testis; vincristine + adriamycin + BCG + methylglyoxyprogesterone; vinblastine + adriamycin + hydroxyurea + ma. In short, multi drug therapy is better than single drug.

matters needing attention

Advanced renal cancer can be treated by some effective methods, such as surgery or immunotherapy, the effect is still very good. It can effectively improve the immunity of patients and inhibit the further spread and metastasis of cancer cells to a certain extent.
