| | Renal Cell Carcinoma |
 | | We conclude that renal cell carcinomas showing extensive necrosis are capable of aggressive behavior, and patients with these lesions cannot be assured of cure following surgery. | | | One hundred one renal cell carcinomas with sarcomatoid change were studied, and clinicopathologic parameters were correlated with outcome. | | | The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of RCC with rhabdoid attributes and characterize the histologic, immunophenotypic, and ultrastructural features by retrospective analysis of 480 consecutively identified cases of RCC in radical nephrectomy specimens. |

| | Though not curable by current treatment methods, metastatic renal cell carcinoma can be effectively treated to improve symptoms and survival in a proportion of patients using immunotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery in certain cases. | | | Immunotherapy drugs used against renal cell carcinoma include interleukin-2, interferon-alpha, and interferon-gamma. | | | Slowly growing tumors may not cause symptoms and may not need to be treated right away, but rapidly growing tumors will make the patient ill within weeks. |
