Dr. Luo Yong
The primary symptoms of recurrent or metastatic renal cell carcinoma after surgery include nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes). Additionally, patients may experience unexplained upper abdominal pain, shortness of breath, chest tightness, dizziness, urinary abnormalities, and lymphadenopathy. If any of these symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical evaluation promptly for appropriate diagnostic testing and confirmation of diagnosis.
