摘要
A 71-year- old man with advanced left renal cell carcinoma ( lymph node involvement and vena cava thrombus) was submitted to 6 months of neoadjuvant treatment with sorafenib before open radical nephrectomy. After sorafenib treatment and before surgery a new CT scan confirmed the presence of a 9.0 cm in diameter solid mass in the left kidney but a reduction in thrombus extension, limited to the left renal vein. At histological examination after radical nephrectomy, over 90% of the renal mass was substituted by necrotic tissue. Copyright (c) 2008 S. Karger AG, Basel.
