[Renal carcinoma (author's transl)].

H Haschek

    Wiener Klinische Wochenschrift
    |April 13, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Early diagnosis of renal carcinoma is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Key indicators include hematuria and paraneoplastic syndromes, guiding timely intervention for better survival rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Oncology

    Context:

    • Renal carcinoma, a significant health concern, presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Understanding its epidemiology, etiology, and clinical manifestations is vital for effective management.

    Purpose:

    • To discuss the epidemiology, etiology, and clinical features of renal carcinoma.
    • To highlight diagnostic methods and therapeutic strategies for renal carcinoma.
    • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis for improved patient survival.

    Summary:

    • Epidemiology and etiology of renal carcinoma are reviewed, followed by clinical features. Early diagnosis relies on recognizing hematuria (especially microhematuria) and paraneoplastic syndromes. Intravenous urography is the primary diagnostic tool, complemented by renal angiography and sonography for precise tumor definition and differential diagnosis.
    • Current therapy focuses on radical surgical extirpation, improving outcomes by approximately 15% in stages III and IV. Survival rates vary significantly by stage: 60-70% for stages I-II, 40% for stage III, and low for stage IV.
    • While cytostatic therapy offers no current benefit, pre- and post-operative irradiation and hormonal therapy provide modest survival improvements. Early diagnosis is paramount, as approximately 50% of patients present with metastasis at initial examination.

    Impact:

    • This review underscores the critical need for early detection of renal carcinoma to enhance treatment efficacy and patient prognosis.
    • The findings support the continued use of established diagnostic modalities and surgical interventions while exploring adjunctive therapies.
    • Improved understanding of diagnostic indicators and prognostic factors can lead to better patient stratification and personalized treatment approaches.
