Abstract
A 73-year-old man with renal cell carcinoma involving the left renal vein was treated with the embolization of the left renal artery followed by interferon-alpha and UFT. Computerized tomography revealed 53% reduction of the primary lesion and 47% reduction of the tumor thrombus 40 days after treatment. The histopathological study revealed marked lymphocyte infiltration and necrosis of the tumor after nephrectomy.
