History Of Tumor Removal From Kidney. Survival Possibility?
Sir, I had tumour T3N2M0 in my left kidney 6 months before. The doctor took 3 samples for biopsy. The 1st sample showed the clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma and 2 other sampled showed free from tumour. The doctor removed the whole kidney. I do not have any problem at this time. The doctor told me that no other tumour was found during CT scan and MRI. What is my survival possibility keeping in view the existing diagnosis? Kindly help me honestly in my case. Thanks.

Hi, as the reports say every thing is allright, as there is no metastasis and the effected kidney is removed, the life expectancy will be normal. But any how there will be possibility of recurance at some other site, if there is undiagnised metastasis, so i advise you to consult your nephrologist for follow up after one year, and three years. Thank you.
