Analysis of clinical symptoms of renal clear cell carcinoma

: An analysis of the clinical symptoms has been carried out in the group of 110 patients who underwent nephrectomy for a clear-cell carcinoma. Total hematuria (47.3% of patients) has been a predominant symptom of the tumour. Pain felt in the back has been noted in 39.1% of patients. Palpable tumour has been noted in 34.5% of patients. Such symptoms have been present simultaneously (Israel's triad) in 12.3% of patients. Tumour has been diagnosed accidentally, mainly with USG, in 37.3% of patients. It has been found that classic clinical symptoms of this cancer are nowadays less frequent than before introducing ultrasound examination.
