Hypernephroma, also known as Grawitz Tumour or Renal Cell Carcinoma, is a malignant tumor that develops from kidney cells. The name of this tumor is due to its structural similarity to the adrenal gland, and it was previously thought that it specifically affects the adrenal glands. However, it is now known that hypernephroma begins in the kidneys.
Hypernephroma often develops asymptomatically in the human body for several years before the first signs of the disease appear. However, some patients may experience fever, low back pain, and blood in the urine. These symptoms are usually associated with an advanced tumor and require immediate medical attention.
The main treatment method for hypernephroma is surgery. The surgeon removes the tumor along with adjacent healthy kidney tissue. In some cases, if the tumor is too large or there is metastasis, the entire kidney may need to be removed. Surgical treatment is the most effective way to get rid of hypernephroma, especially if the tumor is detected at an early stage.
However, it should be noted that hypernephroma can form secondarily even after successful surgery. Therefore, regular medical monitoring and surveillance is important to detect relapses or metastases. For such cases, other treatments may be used, including radiation therapy and drug therapy.
Hypernephroma has the potential to spread through the circulatory system. Often, tumor cells can grow along the renal vein, which makes surgical removal difficult and may allow further spread of the tumor. Therefore, in some cases, additional treatment such as chemotherapy or immunotherapy may be required to reduce the risk of recurrence or metastasis.
Secondary tumors that arise in other organs after primary hypernephroma usually have a characteristic gun-like appearance. This phenomenon is called tumor thromboembolism. Secondary growths of renal cell carcinoma often occur in the lungs.
Hypernephroma is generally resistant to radiation therapy and cytotoxic drugs, which limits their effectiveness in treating this type of tumor. However, some hormonal drugs, such as progestogens and testosterone, can be used in the treatment of hypernephroma.
In conclusion, Hypernephroma, Grawitz Tumour, or Renal Cell Carcinoma are malignant tumors that develop from kidney cells. These tumors may remain asymptomatic for a long time, and the first signs usually appear in the later stages of the disease. Surgical resection is the primary treatment, but regular surveillance and additional treatments may be necessary to control recurrence and metastasis. Hypernephroma also has the ability to spread through the circulatory system, and secondary tumors can develop in other organs. Although hypernephroma is usually unresponsive to radiation therapy and cytotoxic drugs, hormonal therapy may be effective in some cases.

Hypernephroma, Gravitzer's tumor, and renal cell carcinoma are all malignant neoplasms related to kidney tumors. They can affect different parts of the body, and their symptoms may vary. But for all types of cancer, surgery is important
