A member asked:

How will be rbc count, pcv, hb in metastatic renal cell carcinoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unpredictable: Most patients will have a drop in red count due to the cancer itself. Some will be normal, but a small percentage of renal cancers produce excess EPO and will have a high rbc.
