  • Title: [The medical treatment of renal cancer in adults].
    Author: Sculier JP.
    Journal: Rev Med Brux; 1989 May; 10(5):190-6. PubMed ID: 2662317.
    Abstract:
    Cure of adult renal cell cancer can only be obtained by surgery. However, nephrectomy has no effect upon distant metastases. Hormonotherapy is ineffective. Vinblastine is the only chemotherapeutic agent with a certain antitumoral activity. New immunotherapeutic agents such as interferon alpha or interleukin 2 are more promising but their side-effects are not negligible. Medical management of renal cell cancer remains investigational.
