Tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma (TCRCC) is a rare type of kidney cancer that is characterized by the presence of tubules and cysts in the tumor. It is a type of renal cell carcinoma, which is the most common type of kidney cancer. TCRCC is usually found in adults and is more common in men than in women. Symptoms of TCRCC may include pain in the side or back, blood in the urine, and a lump in the abdomen. Treatment for TCRCC typically involves surgery to remove the tumor, followed by chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

The most common symptom of tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma is blood in the urine (hematuria). Other symptoms may include Pain in the side or lower back, a lump in the abdomen, weight loss, fatigue, and fever.

The exact cause of tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma is unknown. However, some risk factors have been identified, including a family history of kidney cancer, certain genetic conditions, and exposure to certain chemicals.

Treatment for tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma depends on the size and stage of the tumor. Options may include:

1. Surgery: Surgery is the primary treatment for tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, a partial or radical nephrectomy may be performed.

2. Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy may be used to shrink the tumor before or after surgery.

3. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy may be used to shrink the tumor before or after surgery.

4. Targeted therapy: Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs to target specific molecules involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells.

5. Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that uses the body’s own immune system to fight cancer.
