Repeated pain after surgery, it turns out that kidney cancer has entered the terminal stage

68-year-old Mr. Xu had recurrent back pain one year ago, which gradually worsened. He went to the hospital for relevant examinations and was diagnosed with kidney cancer. He underwent surgery at the doctor's suggestion, and the pathological examination showed clear cell carcinoma.

However, after the operation, Mr. Xu felt pain in his humerus, so he took medication to relieve the pain, but the effect was not ideal, and he still felt back pain repeatedly, so the doctor performed an MRI examination on him, which showed: bone destruction in the right temporal bone, sphenoid bone, and frontal bone, multiple bone destruction in the cervical and thoracic vertebrae, compression of the dura mater sac at the T11 plane, bone destruction in the upper part of the right humerus, right pleural effusion, and soft tissue masses in the pleura and suprahepatic space. After a series of examinations, it was found that Mr. Xu's kidney cancer had metastasized to the lungs and entered the terminal stage of kidney cancer.

The doctor learned that the patient had a healthy past, had undergone an appendectomy, and had no history of exposure to radiation or chemical toxins. However, he had a history of smoking for more than ten years, at least one pack a day, and even after the onset of the disease, he still smoked four or five cigarettes a day.

Because of the recurring pain, he was given intravenous drip treatment. After the patient stabilized, he was given palliative radiotherapy, thoracentesis and catheterization to drain pleural effusion, and then thoracentesis injection of drugs. He was treated three times, each one month apart. However, the effect after treatment was not good. The patient is still in pain all over his body and his body is failing. At this time, the treatment not only did not relieve the patient's symptoms, but increased the burden on the patient's body, causing his physical condition to continue to deteriorate. Eventually, Mr. Xu died of multiple organ failure.
