Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion your brother is having tumour spread in lungs and the nodules seen in lung are nothing but metastatic lesion from primary site (renal).
So this categorise your brother in stage 4 cancer. And in stage 4 disease surgery is contraindicated.
Only chemotherapy and radiotherapy is indicated. In rare cases if renal tumour mass is too big and compressing vital organs like aorta and ureter than debulking surgery is done. Better to consult oncosurgeon and discuss all these.
