Can early clear cell renal cancer be cured?

Although clear cell carcinoma is the least malignant type of renal cancer, it is often mixed with granular cell carcinoma and spindle cell carcinoma in clinical practice, and it is very difficult to grade under a microscope. So can early clear cell renal cancer be cured? If treated in time, the disease can be controlled and progress slowly.

1. Radical nephrectomy is generally used for treatment. The metastasis rate of renal cancer through blood transport is very high, and about 60% of patients have the possibility of metastasis. The frequency of metastatic organs is: lung, bone, liver, distant lymph nodes, renal vein, adrenal gland, contralateral kidney, pleura, central nervous system, pancreas, etc. Therefore, we should pay close attention to the conditions of the above-mentioned tissues and organs (such as hemiplegia, sciatica, back pain, swollen cervical lymph nodes, frequent coughing, pain in the liver area, abnormal liver function, etc. generally indicate metastasis). If no new metastatic lesions are found within two years, it is basically safe.
2. Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy and chemotherapy can prolong the patient's life. Commonly used drugs include interferon, IL-2, BCG, etc. Interferon treatment has positive significance and should be accepted as long as economic conditions permit. Other nutrition and care are the same as those for general tumor surgery patients, with no special requirements. Considering that the patient has only one kidney, it is necessary to avoid all factors that increase the burden on the kidney, such as cold and fever, drinking, strenuous exercise, fatigue, and nephrotoxic drugs (cold medicine, painkillers, diuretics, etc.).
