Abstract:
The nephron-sparing partial nephrectomy has become the gold standard in the surgical therapy of small renal tumors (4-7 cm). In metastased renal cell cancers it is reasonable to perform a nephrectomy or a partial nephrectomy in combination with cytokine-therapy (clear cell type) and/or a targeted therapy with Angiogenesis-Inhibition, in presence of a Karnofsky-Index > 70%. A surgical standard procedure for organ-confined renal cell cancers and an immunological standard therapy for metastased renal cell cancers are no more proper; in fact nowadays exists a spectrum of different efficient therapies. Surgery in metastased diseases is indicated if it can improve the quality of life of the patient.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
