COMBINED TREATMENT OF RENAL-CANCER INVADING RENAL-VEIN OR VENA-CAVA-INFERIOR

The outcomes of treatment of 61 renal cancer patients with tumour thro mbus in the renal vein or vena cava inferior, having no distant and re gional metastases and without tumour invasion of adjacent organs, are presented. After radical surgery patients were treated by whole-body h yperthermia supplemented with hyperglycemia and adriamycin. The 5-year survival in the patients treated by this combined method was signific antly higher that that in the patients administered only surgical trea tment, and reached to 94% and 27%, respectively (P < 0.001).
