Summary

Renal cell carcinomas, which originate within the renal cortex, constitute 80–85% of primary renal neoplasms. Patients can present with a range of symptoms due to the tumor itself (e.g., mass, pain), invasion of the urinary tract (e.g., hematuria), paraneoplastic syndromes, or the presence of metastases. Renal cell cancer is more frequently being diagnosed incidentally as a consequence of increased use of imaging procedures for other reasons. Surgery is curative in the majority of patients without metastatic disease and is therefore the preferred treatment for patients with stages I, II, and III disease. The five-year survival following the treatment correlates well with the anatomic extent of disease. Systemic therapy with molecularly targeted therapy or immunotherapy is the primary approache for patients with unresectable or recurrent disease.

Zusammenfassung

Das kortikale Nierenzellkarzinom trägt 80–85 % zu den bekannten Neoplasien der Niere bei. Die Symptomatik des Patienten ist entweder auf den Tumor selbst (z. B. Schmerz), Invasion des Harntraktes (z. B. Hämaturie), paraneoplastische Syndromen oder Metastasen zurückzuführen. Am häufigsten wird das Nierenzellkarzinom heute als Zufallsbefund eines bildgebenden Verfahrens im Initialstadium detektiert. Die chirurgische Therapie gilt als bevorzugte Behandlung im metastasenfreien Stadium I, II und III. Das 5-Jahresüberleben korreliert eng mit der anatomischen Ausdehnung des Tumors. Systemische Substanzen, wie Targeted- oder Immuntherapie kommen in fortgeschrittenen Stadien zum Einsatz.
