Abstract
- From 1978 to 1984 approximately 49 patients with renal cell carcinoma have been treated at Severance Hospital. Within this group 24 patients had clinically demonstrable metastatic disease at the time of initial diagnosis or during the follow-up periods. In 3 of 24 patients, brain metastases were found and in 2 of 24 patients, skull metastases with CNS symptoms were found. Of 2 patients with only brain metastasis were treated with radiation. The survival of 2 patients were 39 and 8 months. Of the 3 patients with multiple metastases were treated with conservative treatment and all patients expired. Furthermore, the data support a good treatment modality with radiation therapy for patient with the brain as their only site of metastases.
