Key result
Surgical resection of left RCC with level-II IVC thrombus achieves 2-year complication-free survival.
Why the study?
The incidence of venous extension to the inferior vena cava of renal cell carcinoma has markedly increased due to advances in diagnostic modalities, posing surgical challenges and prognostic implications.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, as well as prognostic factors, associated with renal cell carcinoma extending into the inferior vena cava.
Case report on RCC with IVC thrombi informs rare surgical scenarios; leaves open standardized multimodal strategies pending larger studies.
The incidence of venous extension to the inferior vena cava (IVC) of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is markedly increased recently mostly due to the advances in diagnostic modalities. Such vascular invasion implies a heightened biologic behavior and a surgical challenge during the course of treatment. Here we discussed a case with study of the classification guidelines, recent diagnostic tools and up-to-date therapeutic modalities for RCC with IVC tumor thrombi. Also added to the discussion are the prognostic significance regarding the pathologic nature of vascular invasion, cephalad extent of thrombi and any associated distant metastasis.

Anisuzzaman et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Renal Cell Carcinoma with Inferior Vena Cava Thrombus (n=1). Left nephrectomy and IVC thrombectomy was evaluated on Complication-free survival. Surgical resection of a left renal cell carcinoma with a level-II inferior vena cava tumor thrombus resulted in complication-free survival at two years follow-up.
