Renal Cell Carinoma Type Tied to Time on Dialysis
Jody A. Charnow
March 02, 2010
The histologic type of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) arising in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) may be related to the time on dialysis, according to a study.
Excellent Short-Term Outcomes Reported for RAPN
Jody A. Charnow
March 02, 2010
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is a safe and effective approach for nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) that is capable of providing patients with excellent short-term oncologic outcomes, according to the largest RAPN experience described to date.
Pre-Nephrectomy Sorafenib Shrinks Renal Cancer Tumors
John Schieszer
February 25, 2010
Administering sorafenib prior to nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) can reduce the size of the primary tumor with adding to the risk of surgery, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Renal Cancer Is More Likely in Obese Individuals
Delicia Honen Yard
February 16, 2010
Obese individuals with kidney tumors are 48% more likely to develop a clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) than non-obese individuals, researchers reported in BJU International (2010;105:16-20).

Jody A. Charnow
January 27, 2010
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is a safe and effective approach for nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) that is capable of providing patients with excellent short-term oncologic outcomes, according to the largest RAPN experience described to date.
Renal Cell Carcinoma with Capsular Invasion Predicts Worse Outcomes
Jody A. Charnow
December 15, 2009
Renal capsular invasion in patients with localized clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is associated with an increased risk of cancer recurrence and cancer-related death after surgery, according to researchers at the Catholic University of Korea in Seoul.
New Medication Approved for Treated Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
Jody A. Charnow
November 19, 2009
