Abstract
We report a case of bilateral renal cell cancer and multiple lung meta stasis who was first treated with left radical nephrectomy and nephron -sparing surgery of the right kidney. Consecutive interleukin-2 admini stration achieved partial response in lung disease and residual tumors were surgically removed. The disease-free state has continued for 33 months.
