In the article 206 treatment results of generalized and disseminated renal cell carcinoma are presented. It has been found that disseminated forms of hypernephroma required a combined surgical treatment without fail; nephrectomy added by adrenalectomy is recommended insuperpolar tumour localization. Combined surgery with resection or ablation of the affected organ seems to be advisable in disseminated renal cell carcinoma. Such an active surgical approach improves the prognosis. Medicamental antineoplastic therapy including immunotherapy in postoperative period can raise patients survivability and quality of life.
