A member asked:
Life expectancy after removal of left kidney with papillary renal cell carcinoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often very good: It depends on the tumor stage, which is based on the tumor size and whether it is confined to the kidney or invades other structures. Many papillary renal cell carcinomas are small and confined to kidney, in which case they often do not recur.
