What is the survival rate of renal cell carcinoma patients who have had nephrectomy?
Question:
Answers:
since the affected kidney has already been removed, you have already "upped" your chances of survival. there is now a higher probability of recovering. however, precaution should still be exercised. visit your doctor and have a follow up exam to check wether the surgery was a success and if it was done in time to prevent the spread of the disease. since carcinoma is often caused by too much "bad" carbon in the body, you would do well by not eating "burned meat" that usually happens when cooking in open fire-such as when grilling. good luck!
Other Answers:
60-75% 5 year survival rate if cancer has not spread outside the kidney.
