The third and final stage is when the tumor goes into the renal vein or regional lymphatic vessels. During Stage I the tumor can be removed with very little negative side effects‚ as it progresses through the stages it becomes harder to get the entire tumor‚ which decreases the prognosis. Metastatic RCC is highly resistant

more cases where those who were diagnosed go into remission. Cancer is so hard to treat because the tumor cells are constantly growing and mutating. The tumor itself is a mutation of our own cells and since it is an ever mutating mutation‚ it is hard to control. Chemo and surgery are the most well-known treatments for cancer‚ but gene therapy is something that is being used. Gene therapy is where a tumor suppressing gene is cloned.

For instance‚ BRCA1 and BRCA2 are tumor suppressor genes‚ which keep the cancer tumors from forming‚ but when mutated‚ these genes die and cancer is more likely to develop [ (Learn About Cancer‚ 2010) ].
