Analysis of several common treatment methods for metastatic renal cancer

Among kidney cancer patients, the number of patients with metastatic kidney cancer is relatively large, which brings fatal damage to people's kidney health and needs timely treatment. What are the common treatments for metastatic kidney cancer ? The following is a brief introduction to the common treatments for metastatic kidney cancer.

In general, common treatments for metastatic renal cancer include:

1. Internal medicine treatment: A large number of clinical studies have confirmed that medium and high doses of IFN-α are effective for patients with low- and medium-risk metastatic renal clear cell carcinoma. Since 2006, NCCN and EAU have used molecular targeted therapy drugs as first- and second-line treatments for metastatic renal cancer. This is one of the common treatments for metastatic renal cancer.

2. Surgical treatment: It is also a common treatment method for metastatic renal cancer, including (1) surgical treatment of primary renal lesions: surgical treatment should be the first choice for patients with good physical condition and low risk factors. For patients with severe hematuria, pain and other symptoms caused by renal tumors, palliative nephrectomy and renal artery embolization can be selected to relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life. The surgical mortality rate of metastatic renal cancer is 2%~11%. (2) surgical treatment of metastatic lesions: surgical treatment can be selected for isolated metastatic tumors that appear after radical nephrectomy and patients with isolated metastasis of renal cancer and good behavioral status. For patients with concomitant metastases, it can be performed simultaneously with kidney surgery or in stages depending on the patient's physical condition.

3. Radiotherapy: For patients with local tumor bed recurrence, regional or distant lymph node metastasis, bone or lung metastasis, palliative radiotherapy can relieve pain and improve the quality of life. This is a common treatment method for metastatic renal cancer.

The above analysis is about the common treatment methods for metastatic renal cancer. I believe everyone has some understanding of this. These treatment methods for metastatic renal cancer are relatively effective. Patients can choose scientifically according to their own condition, which is beneficial for patients with metastatic renal cancer.
