The administration of high-dose continuous intravenous infusion interleukin-2 (IL-2) is able to induce the presence of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells. LAK are able to nonspecifically lyse tumor cells. They are also able to lyse endothelial cells, which accounts for, at least in part, the

Renal cancer with vena cava tumour thrombus is relatively rare (4 to 10%). Because of the poor results obtained with any kind of alternative therapy (e.g. radiation, hormonal, chemotherapy and immunotherapy) operation with complete removal of the vena cava tumour thrombus continues to be the better

Fetuses with tumors associated with hydrops have a high mortality rate. Relatively few survivors have this potentially fatal combination. This study examined the clinical and pathological findings, pathogenesis, and outcomes of fetuses with tumors and hydrops. One hundred and fifty-eight study cases

BACKGROUND The inferior vena cava (IVC) is involved in almost 5% to 10% of renal tumors. Their intraluminar extension to the cardiac cavities occurs with a tumor-thrombus formation at a percentage of 1%. The aim of this study is to present the principles of "radical" management that should be

Small renal tumors are increasingly diagnosed and are frequently treated by nephron-sparing surgery. Tumors can be ablated by radiofrequency (RF) energy, which allows the operator to create very localized necrotic lesions. Radiofrequency interstitial tumor ablation (RITA) has been used in human

OBJECTIVE We assessed the incidence of perinatal morbidity and evaluated the outcome in children with prenatally diagnosed renal tumors in a retrospective multicenter study. METHODS A review of the records of patients from 20 institutions identified 28 children with prenatally diagnosed renal

The aim of this study was to study the effectiveness of stereotactic radiosurgery by Gamma Knife in kidney cancer with brain metastases. There were analyzed results in 112 patients with such spread of the disease who received treatment in the Gamma Knife Center, Moscow. The median age of patients

Herein we report the case of a patient suffering from renal amyloidosis secondary to Crohn's disease (CD) who presented with anuria and anasarca 8 years after commencement of colchicine treatment. End-stage renal disease was confirmed. Renal imaging prior to hemodialysis showed tumor of the left

OBJECTIVE To investigate the safety and perioperative experience of the segmental resection of the vena cava. METHODS From May 2015 to July 2017, 92 renal tumor patients with venous tumor thrombus were treated in Peking University Third Hospital, of whom 17 underwent nephrectomy with resection of

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to determine whether percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is effective and safe for the treatment of cystic renal neoplasms. METHODS This is a retrospective review of imaging-guided RFA of Bosniak III and IV cysts from one institution. Thirty-eight

OBJECTIVE Renal tumors are rare in infants less than 6 months of age and may have associated paraneoplastic symptoms. To better define the characteristics of these tumors the authors reviewed their 10-year institutional experience. METHODS The authors searched the pathology database to identify all

We report a case of reflex anuria after transarterial embolization of a renal tumor. Anuria developed immediately after embolization and resolved 74 hr following the procedure. We postulate that reflux anuria in our case was related to mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, or both, as these are

Everolimus is indicated for the therapy of adults with advanced renal cell carcinoma after failure of treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). The aim of the study was a multicenter evaluation of efficiency and toxicity of everolimus in

The paper describes a case of severe complication of radio-frequency percutaneous thermoablation of renal metastasis into the liver, which occurred in a young woman with the intact cardiovascular system and manifested itself in the development of alveolar edema of the lung and acute dilation of the
