Proven renal cell carcinoma in 1996. CT scan of December 1996 showed a large (L) renal mid/lower pole mass with massive tumour/thrombus extension into (L) renal vein, IVC and (R) atrium, patient was given no treatment. Patient returned to URO OPD in August 2000 looking well, not having lost any weight. CT scan of September 2000 showed increase in size of tumour but decrease in extent of tumour/thrombus in renal vein and IVC and no extension into (R) atrium.
