... hypothermia and circulatory arrest. Method: We performed this procedure in 15 patients. The ages ranged between 16 and 70 years. The primary malignancies were renal cell carcinoma (n = 13), Wilms’ tumor (n = 1) and paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (n = 1). Results: There were no operative deaths. One patient...

...H. Al-Abadi; R. Nagel In 112 patients with renal cell carcinoma, the ploidy, DNA heterogeneity and the phases of the cell cycle occurring in the tumors were determined by means of single-cell DNA cytophotometry, in order to establish further prognostic factors in addition to the ones known so far...

...Shawn Acino; Nehemia Hampel Renal cell carcinoma commonly presents with gross hematuria. We report the first case in which the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma was made following biopsy of an actively bleeding solitary bladder metastasis of a clear cell carcinoma of the kidney. The possible routes...

...Cesare Selli; Carlo Bartolozzi; Andrea Amorosi; Marco Carini A renal cell carcinoma was incidentally discovered with sonography in a 32-year-old pregnant woman. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to provide further information about tumor stage without causing adverse effects on the fetus...

...Georg Hofmockel; Stefan Riess; Ioannis D. Bassukas; Jobst Dämmrich Objective: Expression and prognostic impact of some exponents of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were examined. Materials and Methods:EGF, transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α), EGF receptor...

... radical nephrectomy for category M(0) renal cell carcinoma. Postoperatively they were randomly allocated to adjunctive medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) or to a control group. After the first year of follow-up, the relapse rate was 13% in the controls (5 of 38 evaluable patients) versus 28% in the MPA...

...K. Dreikorn; B. Terwey; P. Drings; R. Horsch; H. Palmtag; W. Rössler We report on a 51-year-old male patient who presented with a renal cell carcinoma of advanced stage including multiple pulmonary metastases. A complete regression of the pulmonary metastases was observed after embolisation...

...W. Pauer; H. Marberger A report of 204 patients with renal cell carcinoma, without any evidence of métastasés, is presented and the operative technique described. The importance of the transperitoneal approach is demonstrated, showing the significant difference in survival rates between patients...

Puppo A case of renal cell carcinoma invading the surrounding organs and extending into the infrarenal vena cava, treated by enlarged nephrectomy, splenectomy, resection of the diaphragm and extended resection of vena cava,is presented. Special attention...

...G. Pizzocaro; L. Piva; R. Salvioni Lymph node dissection is an essential step in radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma, but lymph node metastases are present in no more than 15% of category M(0) renal cell cancers and the cure rate of patients with lymph node involvement is usually poor...

...Luciano Giuliani; Claudio Giberti; Guiseppe Martorana; Salvatore Rovida The results of the surgical management of 28 patients with renal cell carcinoma extending into the inferior vena cava have been analyzed. 8 patients had cavai tumor thrombus extension at the level of the renal veins,14 had...

...W. Hoehn; P. Hermanek Of 426 operatively removed renal cell carcinomas, macroscopic vein invasion was proven in 197 cases,i.e. 46.2%. The inferior vena cava contained tumor in 4.0%, the trunk of the renal vein in 24.4%, and in 18.1 % only the major branches of the renal vein were found invaded...

...P. Hermanek; A. Sigel; S. Chlepas Out of 188 operatively removed renal cell carcinomas 49 % showed macroscopic evidence of vein invasion and in 28 % of the cases only histologically provable vein invasion. The uncorrected 5-year survival rates amounted to 40.8 % in macroscopic vein invasion, 60.6...
