Abstract
BACKGROUND: Renal cell carcinoma
accounts for about 3% of adult cancers. The
most common type is a 70% clear cell
carcinoma. Approximately 30% of patients have
developed metastasis at the time of diagnosis,
and metastasis develops following nephrectomy
in one third.
METHODS: The study included the cases that
were diagnosed by operation for primary or
metastasis between 2014 and 2016, and that
have been followed up by the Bezmialem Vakif
University, Department of Medical Oncology.
The sites of metastasis for metastatic RCCs and
how long after the time of diagnosis metastasis
developed were recorded. The demographic data
and metastatic sites of the cases are listed.
RESULTS: The most common metastatic sites
are the lung. However, the rare settlements
reported in the literature are noteworthy.
