Abstract
- A retrospective analysis of our experience with six patients of renal cell carcinoma involving the renal vein and vena cava are reported. Since neither chemotherapy nor radiation has significantly altered the course of these advanced cases, radical nephrectomy with complete removal of the tumor tissue seems to be the only effective treatment. Knowledge of the accurate extent and nature of caval involvement is essential in planning the appropriate surgical procedure. Venacavography should be performed in large renal tumors and nonvisualization of the kidney containing tumor.
