    Abstract:
    For the purpose of clinical analysis of renal cell carcinoma with bony metastasis (59 cases) the cases with lung metastasis (146 cases) were selected for comparison. The analyzed items were the distribution of bony metastatic portions, the results of radiotherapy for bony metastasis, comparative study with lung metastasis on clinical background, comparative study with lung and bony metastasis on the survival rate, comparative study with solitary bony and lung metastasis on the survival rate, comparative study with bony and lung metastasis on the grade of primary lesion. The most frequent metastatic portion was lower extremities, spine, upper extremities and pelvic bone in this order. The survival rate of the cases with bony metastasis was better than that of lung, especially with solitary metastatic cases. The effects of radiotherapy for bony metastasis were not so good for prolonging the survival. The grade of kidney malignancy did not influence the survival of patients with bony metastasis, on the contrary, in patients with lung metastasis, there was a good prognostic factor for survival.
