The Right

The surgical treatment of advanced renal cancers is challenging. Renal cell carcinoma is interesting in that it invades the vasculature and can extend up as far as the right atrium. Extension of tumour thrombus into the right atrium represents level IV disease, according to Robson staging. Transoesophageal echocardiography is useful for diagnostic purposes. It is also of great value for intraoperative cardiac monitoring and to confirm the extent of vascular involvement.

Robust Response

A 47-year-old previously healthy man presented with acute moderate flank pain. Evaluation revealed left renal cell carcinoma, with inferior vena cava tumour thrombus invasion. Patient had no significant history or risk factors to pre-dispose him to genitourinary cancers. Surgery was deemed to not be appropriate due to distant metastases, but patient received targeted molecular therapy and immunotherapy with striking regression of the thrombus.
