Successful treatment of a brain-metastasized renal cell carcinoma

Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma is an uncommon type of cancer that rarely metastasizes to the brain. The prognosis after discovering brain metastasis has traditionally been dismal. We are presenting a case of renal cell carcinoma with multiple brain metastases that was successfully treated with multimodal therapy including a new type of medication.
