ABSTRACT
Introduction: renal adenocarcinoma described by Koing and known as Grawitz tumor represents approximately 3% of all malignant neoplasias in human beings and the female–male ratio of 2.1 is more frequent in the urban area and the most affected patients are between 50 and 70 years internationally.Objective: to identify the influence of certain risk factors in the onset of the disease.
Method: it was performed a retro descriptive and prospective study where it was analyzed the surgical treatment of kidney cancer in the University Province Hospital "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes", since January 2008 to January 2013, distributing the patients according to age and sex, symptoms, treatment, metastasis and survival time.
Results: it was found that the cancer was more frequent in women between 50 and 59 years. The prevailing symptoms were lumbar pain and hematuria. The most frequent metastases were in the liver and in soft parts. The deceased were 4 patients: 3 women and a man.
Conclusions: the mostly used therapeutic procedure was the radical nephrectomy; the urinary infection prevailed as a complication. The clear cell carcinoma was the histological type that prevailed. Survival was greater in males. The right renal tumor prevailed on the left tumor.
