The aims of this study were to evaluate the long-term outcome
of surgery for bone or soft-tissue metastases from renal cell carcinoma
(RCC) and to determine factors that affect prognosis. Between 1993 and 2014, 58 patients underwent surgery for bone
or soft-tissue metastases from RCC at our hospital. There were 46
men and 12 women with a mean age of 60 years (25 to 84). The mean
follow-up period was 52 months (1 to 257). The surgical sites included
the spine (33 patients), appendicular skeleton (ten patients), pelvis (eight
patients), thorax (four patients), and soft tissue (three patients).
