Kidney Cancer

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me with some information. I am trying to find out the survival rate of people with kidney cancer who are not diagnosed with RCC until it is in Stage 4. Any kind of information would be appreciated. I know the overall survival rate for all stages is %40-45, but no information is given on those who are diagnosed with this disease at Stage 4. Thank you so very much for your help.

Five studies from different institutions published from 1971-1990 list five year survivals for stage 4 disease at 0%,0%,8%,2% and 3%.

Hello,

My brother n law was just diagnosed with stage iv renal cell cancer.....he has a rare type and it has already spread to his thyroid it was 3.5 cm mass......from research it doesn't look like his chances are good. Your question posted on teh oncology channel was close to his problem......i was wondering how you were doing and possibly if we could ask you questions once he gets his mri back on Friday???

thanks.
