What does grade 1, 2, 3, 4 of the tumor mean in clear cell renal cell carcinoma?

Grades refer to how advanced the cancer is.  4 is usually the worst case scenario with metastisies\n\n-- Stages of renal cell cancer --\nOnce renal cell cancer has been found, more tests will be done to find out if cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body.  This is called staging. A doctor needs to know the stage of the disease to plan treatment.  The following stages are used for renal cell cancer: \n\n-- Stage I --\nCancer is found only in the kidney.\n\n-- Stage II --\nCancer has spread to the fat around the kidney, but the cancer has not spread beyond this to the capsule that contains the kidney.\n\n-- Stage III --\nCancer has spread to the main blood vessel that carries clean blood from the kidney (renal vein), to the blood vessel that carries blood from the lower part of the body to the heart (inferior vena cava), or to lymph nodes around the kidney.  (Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures that are found throughout the body; they produce and store infection-fighting cells.)\n\n-- Stage IV --\nCancer has spread to nearby organs such as the bowel or pancreas or has spread to other places in the body such as the lungs. \n\n-- Recurrent --\nRecurrent disease means that the cancer has come back (recurred) after it has been treated.  It may come back in the original area or in another part of the body.

each case is individual. There are no current stats on reoccurence of this type of tumour.

The tumor needs to be removed first with clear margins, then depending on whether it has spread, or has a potential to metastasize, radiation and in some cases chemotherapy are required.  Heres a site with some information:\n\nhttp://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Sites-Types/synovial

Stage 4 bone cancer is a serious diagnosis.  It usually means that the cancer has spread to the bones from somewhere else, such as because of breast cancer, prostate cancer, or lung cancer.  Usually treatments at this stage are to make sure the person is pain free, to strengthen bones, and to slow the progress of the cancer rather than to cure it.  \n\nAs our family is dealing with this exact issue right now I would suggest that whoever you are asking about should follow the advice of the oncologists.  They do know best as they deal with this issue everyday.\n\nOur thoughts are with you.  God bless.

One of my former co-workers fiance has it now.  He was fired from my employer and I was getting pretty close to them as they were both decent people.  Anyway, she had lots of tests done.  She is a diabetic, and her one kidney isn't functioning.  They found tumors attached to her other kidney, tested it and its cancer.  She is having treatments now.  She seemed really upbeat the last I saw her.  They moved out of state in Jan. He called me about a month ago.  When they were moving, she lifted too much and has a massive amount of scar tissue.  Be positive and supportive.  Your bf needs your support and his family right now.  I'll pray for you both. ok.\nPray and take it one day at a time sweetie.  I don't know what else to tell you.

it goes threw the kidneys and all that lovely filering happens then it goes down a little tube that connects the kidney to the bladder\ngood picture here\nhttp://www.medicinenet.com/bladder_cancer/article.htm\nignore the fact that the site is about bladder cancer and look at the picture near the top of the page :)

Is this for curiosity's sake, or a serious medical question? I only ask because in the latter case it's best to get information directly from the doctor treating the disease. I will say, however, that these things depend on a number of variables. First, do you mean "large small cell tumor?" What stage is it in? Has it metastasized (spread to other organs)? How healthy is the patient? How old?\n\nSmall cell carcinoma is a very aggressive cancer, spreading quickly and not always detected at an early stage. However it is also very responsive to radiation and chemotherapy, making it easier to treat once it's found. If the patient is healthy and able to endure the treatment, once they reach the 2 year mark things are looking good.

Oh dear\nI'm so sorry for your mother\nwhen a cancer has reached a site far from the original site (i mean when there is no direct contact between the two sites) it's then called a distant metastasis and in oncology classifications it's known as M1 in TNM classification and grade IV in WHO classification\nin such cases the treatment is very difficult because this means that the cancer cells have managed to escape from the original site and escape from the protective mechanisms circulating in the blood and present in different tissues to reach another distant site\nNo one can say how long would a patient with metastatic bone cancer live and it's dependent on many factors one of them is what type of bone cancer\nIn most cases the treatment such a patient will recieve is to help her continue her life without suffering or pain\nI wish you and your family the best

You should look at the website eyesontheprize.com.  It has stories about women and gyno cancers.  I had endometrial cancer last year which was removed completely by surgery.  Chemo and radiation will depend upon which stage and grade your cancer is.  I was stage 1b, grade 2, and you find out after the surgery-after pathology has time to read it.  Good luck.

no classification but it determines stage of cancer.

basically cancer at the larger portion of the pancreas where it meets up with the duodenum (small intestine) that has been going long enought to diseminate via lymphatic system (mestastasise) to other organs. \nnot good.

2 kidneys are present in the body but only one is required. that doesnt mean that one kidney is bad. If something gonna bad, then dont u think it shd be removed, same with kidneys. As for goin bad, it means the kidney has stopped functioning. on the other hand, sound kidneys always do their work irrespective of their level of utilisation.
