How is clear cell renal tumor treated?

The impact and threat caused by renal clear cell tumor is relatively large, so in order to better reduce the damage caused by this disease, we should pay attention to taking scientific treatment methods in time. Surgical treatment, immunotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine conditioning methods are indispensable.

1. Radical nephrectomy is generally used for treatment. The metastasis rate of renal cancer via blood transport is very high, and approximately 60% of patients have the possibility of metastasis. The frequencies of metastatic organs were as follows: lung (52%), bone (40%), liver (23%), distant lymph nodes (23%), renal vein (22%), adrenal gland (20%), contralateral kidney (18%), pleura (10%), central nervous system (8%), pancreas (7%), etc. Therefore, we should pay close attention to the conditions of the above-mentioned tissues and organs (if we find hemiplegia, sciatica, back pain, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, frequent coughing, pain in the liver area, abnormal liver function, etc., it generally indicates metastasis). If no new metastatic lesions are found within two years, it is basically safe.

2. Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy and chemotherapy can be used together to prolong the patient's life. Commonly used drugs include interferon, IL-2, BCG, etc. Interferon treatment has positive significance and should be accepted as long as financial conditions permit. Other nutrition and care are the same as those for general postoperative tumor patients, with no special requirements. Considering that the patient has only one kidney, care should be taken to avoid all factors that increase the burden on the kidney, such as colds and fevers, drinking, strenuous exercise, fatigue, and nephrotoxic drugs (cold medicines, painkillers, diuretics, etc.).

3. Postoperative treatment

a. Interleukin-2 (1-2 million units)/5 days, stop for two days after every five days.

b. Interferon/once every three days. In the first two years after surgery, the above treatment was performed twice a year. After two years, once a year.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine

As a traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine is one of the important methods for the treatment of renal clear cell carcinoma and can be used throughout the entire process of treatment of renal clear cell carcinoma. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of renal clear cell carcinoma can start from a holistic concept and consider the patient's overall characteristics, rather than just being limited to the lesion itself, effectively combining holistic treatment with local treatment. In the treatment of renal clear cell carcinoma, Chinese medicine believes that we should not blindly pursue the visual elimination of the tumor and the maximum killing of tumor cells, because while killing cancer cells, normal cells in the human body will also be damaged, and patients will experience various adverse reactions and symptoms. The kidney is an extremely important organ in the life activities of the human body and should be protected as much as possible. Treatments that are too drastic will invisibly cause great harm to the body and may even lead to the spread and metastasis of cancer cells, thus endangering life. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for renal clear cell carcinoma, while inhibiting and killing cancer cells, supports positive energy, improves immunity, protects the body's normal functions, and improves the patient's clinical symptoms.
