Abstract
Of the 364 patients studied by the author, in more than a third renal cancer is manifested in non-urological symptoms (anemia, increased ESR, hypertension, weight loss, pyrexia, hepatic dysfunction). The knowledge of the extrarenal symptomatology facilitates an early recognition of renal cancer.
