A member asked:

Can stage 2 rcc cause regurgitation and pulmonary htn? what's the prognosis of stage 2?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good prognosis: It would be unlikely for a stage 2 rcc to cause regurgitation and pulmonary hypertension. Stage 2 (t2n0) has a good prognosis with recent publications showing that 75 to 95% of patients are alive 5 years after diagnosis. However, there are certain characteristics of the cancer that can make it more aggressive and have a worse prognosis. Talk to your doctor and discuss. Best wishes. Ariel.
