Abstract:
We have reviewed the files of 69 patients who had presented with cancer of the renal parenchyma between 1985 and 1994. In 20% of cases in 1985-1989 and in 40% of cases in 1990-1994 these tumours were discovered incidentally, in example before the occurrence of any suggestive symptoms. In 20% (1985-1989) of cases and 40% (1990-1994) of cases, the credit for this early detection was due to ultrasound study prescribed by the attending physician waiting a general health assessment or the follow-up of some other disease. The early diagnosis treating cancers at less advanced staged, which will probably improve the prognosis.
