A case of renal cell carcinoma with tumor thrombus extension into the right atrium
Although the 5-year survival rate for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has increased from 34% to 75%, the disease still adversely affects patients' quality of life. A multidisciplinary approach is essential when managing metastatic RCC, particularly involving the heart. Despite the associated risks, surgical intervention is more effective in prolonging life by preventing sudden cardiac death due to embolic events.
