進行せる腎癌に対する腎動脈血栓形成療法

Abstract

Arterial vascular occlusion of advanced, inoperable renal cell carcinomas was performed by obstructing the tumor vascular tree with the injection of spongel microspheres with saline. In altering immune mechanisms and in facilitating the operations, renal infarction can also be helpful in treating poor surgical risk patients, particularly those with massive hematuria. The reduction of tumor tissue volume by surgical or non-surgical means such as spontaneous necrosis or iatrogenic infarction may be able to facilitate immunologic action of metastases.
