It is too absolute to say that kidney cancer is longevity cancer. Whether kidney cancer is longevity cancer is related to tumor stage, treatment method and patient’s own condition. Generally speaking, the 5-year survival period of early stage kidney cancer is 90%, and it is possible to live a long life.
Kidney cancer accounts for 80%-90% of renal malignant tumors and is a more common renal malignant tumor, which mainly manifests as low back pain, hematuria and abdominal mass.
If patients are in the early stage of the disease and take surgical treatment, they can achieve clinical cure and the 5-year survival rate is 90%; however, if patients are in the middle or late stage of the disease, the 5-year survival rate is lower than the early stage, usually around 40%, which is not able to achieve a long life.
Kidney cancer should be detected early, diagnosed early and treated early to improve the cure rate. And pay attention to regular review, monitor the changes of symptoms, and consult the doctor for treatment in time when discomfort occurs, so as to avoid the deterioration of the condition.
