[Tegafur-uracil markedly reduced pulmonary metastasis from renal cell carcinoma refractory to sorafenib, interferon and interleukin 2].

In September 2003, a 68-year-old man was with renal cell carcinoma(RCC)underwent left radical nephrectomy. The pathological diagnosis was renal cell carcinoma, clear cell type, grade 1, pT3bNxMx stage III. Seventeen months later, lung metastasis was detected by CT and treated with recombinant interferon(IFN) -α2b (Intron A®) 600×10⁴ units until the regrowth lung metastasis in May, 2008.
