Bone metastases occur in 20–35% of patients with generalized renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and osteoclastic (lytic) metastases prevail. Diagnosis of metastatic lesion of the skeleton during RCC is of clinical importance for timely treatment, improving the quality of life and reducing mortality of patients. The article discusses modern methods of radiation diagnosis of bone tissue changes in metastatic RCC.

Surgical resection remains an important component in the care of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Some of the patients so managed had relief of symptoms and improved quality of life. However, palliative nephrectomies in late cases with vena cava involvement are not without challenges. An important factor to be considered for successful surgery is adequate vena cava management. We report in this paper three patients who had metastatic RCC. For over three decades now, researchers in Lagos had recorded the abysmal prognosis of advanced cases of RCC. Yet, late presentation and diagnosis still persisted in our environment. There is therefore the need to repackage our strategies aimed at early detection of this pathology and thus improved postoperative outcome.

There has been tremendous progress in the treatment landscape of advanced or metastatic RCC with novel and efficacious targeted therapies, immunotherapies and combinatorial regimens, leading to an expansion of therapeutic armamentarium over the last two decades. New advances have offered considerable improvement in prognosis, treatment-related toxicities, quality of life, and survival for patients with mRCC. Despite such advantages, there is unmet need for developing novel biomarkers predictive of treatment response, optimize treatment selection, and also improving strategies to overcome therapeutic resistance in heterogenous RCC tumors. Herein, we outline currently available first- and subsequent-lines treatment strategies, unprecedented changes, and also discuss challenges in treatment landscape of RCC.

The quality of life depends on water quality. Good water quality and the rational use of water are an absolute need of the new millennium. Although it is an ecological and health priority to prohibit the contamination of water and water protection, it is a responsibility for environmental engineers and chemists to develop and apply effective methods for monitoring and controlling of water quality, and at that way prevent ecological and technological catastrophe on time. In this paper modern methods and process for monitoring, control and detection of cyanide in water and wastewater are presented. Recent developments in instrumental techniques and treatment for determination of this toxic substance in water are described, particularly the methods according to green analytical aspects.
