[Percutaneous embolization of renal cancer. Clinical evaluation (author's transl)].

The authors deal with 17 cases of renal adenocarcinoma treated with preventive embolization, widened nephrectomy and total parenteral nutrition, as well as one case of palliative definitive embolization in a patient who could not be operated. The most remarkable clinical aspects turned out to be in the easier and safer maneuverability under surgery, a decrease in mortality during and after the operation, reduced consumption of blood units, and a better which were treated only with purely surgical therapy.
