Surgical treatment of renal cell carcinoma with tumor thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and the right heart: How we do it.

Objective: Renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava thrombosis is a rare disease with a poor prognosis without surgical treatment. We report our 11-year experience in the surgical treatment of renal cell carcinoma with extension of the inferior vena cava.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing surgical treatment for renal cell carcinoma with invasion of the inferior vena cava in two hospitals from May 2010 to March 2021.
