Q: Institutes For Kidney Cancer Tretment Please?

Hi everybody,

my closest friend had his left kidney removed because of kidney cancer. The operation went ok but there has been some dispersion of cancer cells into the liquid that has been accumulated inside his belly and thorax. According to doctors, there is a very high chance that he will develop more cancers and his life expectancy is less than a year.

I am looking for a second opinion and the best possible treatment. Does anyone know which are the best institutes to treat kidney cancer or kidney cancer metastasis?
