Urology. 1993 Mar;41(3):278-9. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(93)90575-u.

Abstract

The literature cites long-term (> 10 years) survivals after surgical treatment for renal cell carcinoma compared with few untreated cases with similar survival. We report the longest survival between time of diagnosis and documented distant metastases from an untreated renal cell cancer.
