There is no spread to lymph nodes or distant organs. Stage II: The tumor is larger than 7.0 cm but still limited to the kidney. There is no spread to lymph nodes or distant organs. Stage III: There are several combinations of T and N categories that are included in this stage. These include tumors of any size, with or without spread to fatty tissue around the kidney, with or without spread into the large veins leading from the kidney to the heart, with spread to one nearby lymph node, but without spread to distant lymph node or other organs. Stage III also includes tumors with spread to fatty tissue around the kidney and/or spread into the large veins leading from the kidney to the heart, that have not spread to any lymph nodes or other organs. Stage IV: There are several combinations of T, N, and M categories that included in this stage. This stage includes any cancers that have spread directly through the fatty tissue and the fascia ligament-like tissue that surrounds the kidney. Stage IV also includes any cancer that has spread to more than one lymph node near the kidney, to any lymph node not near the kidney, or to any other organs such as the lungs, bone, or brain.

It is a life-threatening tumor found mostly in adults in their 50s and 60s. It affects twice as many men as women. How does it occur? The cause of this disease is not known. Smoking and work-related cadmium exposure are known risk factors. A growth of cancer cells within the kidney forms an enlarging mass that may spread outside the kidney. The symptoms may occur as a result of effects on kidney function or effects on other organs. Symptoms vary, depending on how advanced the tumor is when it is found. Symptoms can include:

Home For Patients For Health Professionals Students ... Cancer Types What is a risk factor? A risk factor is anything that may increase a person's chance of developing a disease. It may be an activity, such as smoking, diet, family history, or many other things. Different diseases, including cancers, have different risk factors. Although these factors can increase a person's risk, they do not necessarily cause the disease. Some people with one or more risk factors never develop the disease, while others develop disease and have no known risk factors. But, knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease. Kidney (Renal Cell) Cancer What is kidney cancer? Most cancers are named after the part of the body where the cancer first begins, and kidney cancer is no exception. Kidney cancer begins in the kidneys, two large, bean-shaped organs - one located to the left, and the other to the right of the backbone.

[Top] First U.S. Kidney Cancer Vaccine Trial Underway At Columbia University Medical Center-(Yahoo News-27/01/2005) The first U.S. kidney cancer vaccine trial is now underway at Columbia University Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia. While the potential for vaccines to treat solid tumors has been recognized for more than a decade, this trial is pioneering the use of tumor immunotherapy – boosting the body’s natural immune system – as a way to fight cancer. “Vaccines are an exciting prospect in cancer treatment and this trial is an example of our program’s dedication to bringing the latest advances in tumor vaccines and immunotherapy to patients with cancer,” said Howard L. Kaufman, M.D., associate professor of surgery and pathology at Columbia University Medical Center and director, Tumor Immunotherapy Program at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia. “We expect that combining IL-2 with Trovax will double the treatment response rate for our kidney cancer patients, offering new hope for these patients.”

Bladder Cancer Kidney Cancer: Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 28,000 new cases of renal cell carcinoma will be detected in 1998. It is further estimated that over 11,000 deaths will result from this form of kidney cancer. Neither chemotherapy nor radiation therapy have been shown to be effective against renal cell carcinoma that has spread beyond the kidney (metastatic). Thus, the early detection of these cancers, which are generally incurable except by surgical means, should translate into improvements in survival due to earlier operative intervention at a potentially curable stage. The cause of renal cell carcinoma is unknown, although tobacco and industrial carcinogens have been implicated. There is an association of renal cell carcinoma with several clinical syndromes such as Von Hippel Lindan Disease, Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease, and Acquired Renal Cystic Disease. Renal Cell Carcinoma has also been reported to run in certain families (a familial type).

Home Search Browse Resources ... About Electrocautery for Kidney Cancer This study is currently recruiting patients. Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) August 1, 2004 Sponsored by: National Cancer Institute (NCI) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of electrocautery in treating kidney cancer. Electrocautery is a non-surgical procedure that uses heat to kill the tumor. Some patients are not good surgery candidates because of age, health reasons, or the need for dialysis following surgery. Patients whose tumor cells are destroyed by electrocautery may not need surgery, or may have their surgery delayed. Patients with kidney tumors from 0.5 to 3.0 cm in size will be screened for eligibility in the study with a history and physical examination, CT scan, chest X-ray and blood tests. Study patients will then have their tumors cauterized using a needle device approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating soft tissues. The patient first receives a local anesthetic in the area of the back where the needle, or needles, are inserted through the skin into the tumor. (A separate needle stick may be used for each tumor treated.) After insertion, the needles are heated to 85 to 105 degrees centigrade (185 to 221 degrees Fahrenheit) for 10 minutes. A thermometer then measures the temperature of the tumor tissue. If the tumor has not been heated to 60 degrees centigrade (140 degrees Fahrenheit), it may be reheated up to two more times to reach that temperature.

I have had a kidney removed due to kidney cancer. This was a stage I cancer. Is there any additional treatment I can receive to prevent possible spread of the cancer? Thanks. Charley Dear Charley, Treatment for Stage I renal cell carcinoma is radical nephrectomy (removal of the kidney). In some instances, a partial nephrectomy may be indicated. The five-year survival rate is around 60-70 percent. There are various treatment options to treat metastatic tumor (cancer that is spreading). Because your cancer was stage I, however, that means that it was confined within the capsule of the kidney and had not spread. Before your surgery, you likely had an imaging study to determine the extent of spreadthe stageof the cancer. This study was likely a CT/CAT scan. Now that the cancer is removed, a pathology report can confirm if the cancer was still confined to the kidney. There have been studies done in which patients have received post-operative radiation therapy. The idea behind this was to sterilize any left-over microscopic/gross tumor. However, this treatment did not lead to increased survival rates.

The new technique, hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy, offers the advantages of two surgical techniques: the smaller incisions and shorter recovery times of laparoscopic surgery, and the option of removing a completely intact kidney afforded by conventional surgery, according to Frank P. Begun, MD , Associate Professor of Surgery in the Division of Urology at the Medical College. "It is also an ideal approach for elderly patients, who may be too frail for conventional surgery, which could be very debilitating," he said.
