Abstract
We present two renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cases with rapid disease progression within one month of an interventional procedure. Analysis of the clinical courses and laboratory data suggested that a burst of inflammatory cytokines following the procedures could have been the main reason for cancer progression. Higher tumor burden and the presence of paraneoplastic syndrome could be indicators predicting such a complication. Although the mechanism is not well understood, identifying such patients is important.
