How long can one live after undergoing left kidney tumor removal?

The survival time after left kidney tumor resection depends on multiple factors, including: 1. Tumor characteristics: Patients with benign tumors typically can survive for a long time, even without impact on life expectancy. However, the survival time for malignant tumors is related to the degree of malignancy, stage, and treatment methods. 2. Stage and size: Early detection and treatment of the tumor are key to improving survival rates. For example, patients with Stage I or II tumors less than 10 cm in diameter and no metastasis have a 5-year survival rate of 88%-90%. In contrast, the survival rate for patients with Stage III or IV tumors is significantly lower. 3. Treatment methods: Radical surgical resection combined with adjuvant therapies such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy can help reduce the risk of recurrence and metastasis, thereby improving survival rates.
