After early stage kidney cancer is treated, the five-year survival rate is high and the impact on life is small. At this point, the doctor may say that it does not affect life expectancy. Kidney cancer is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system, and the disease can be caused by gene mutation, smoking, heredity and other factors. Early stage kidney cancer usually has more limited lesions and less serious condition, and can achieve better resection effect through surgery. After treatment, the five-year survival rate can reach about 90%, with better prognosis and almost no impact on survival. However, if the kidney cancer is in middle or late stage, the prognosis is worse than that of early stage, the recurrence rate is higher, and the survival period is greatly affected. After surgery, it is better to follow the doctor’s instructions for regular checkups and keep good habits in daily life, which can reduce recurrence and prolong the survival period.
