Preoperative arterial embolization and infarction of a large renal cell carcinoma followed by radical nephrectomy seven days later led to spontaneous regression of pulmonary metastases. However, a cerebral metastatic deposit manifested itself fourteen months after surgery, requiring craniotomy. Presently, the patient is alive and well with no evidence of disease twenty-one months after his original surgery. The immunologic implications of this favorable response to treatment are discussed, and immunologic testing of similar cases is encouraged.
术前对一例大的肾细胞癌进行动脉栓塞和梗死，七天后行根治性肾切除术，随后肺转移灶自发消退。然而，术后14个月出现脑转移瘤，需要开颅手术。目前，患者在初次手术后21个月仍存活且状况良好，无疾病迹象。讨论了这种对治疗的良好反应的免疫学意义，并鼓励对类似病例进行免疫学检测。
