Study: Risk Score Should Guide Deferral of Cytoreductive Nephrectomy
Ideal patient selection for a deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy should include an assessment of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center risk score, according to investigators.
Nephrectomy
Delaying Surgical Intervention Not Likely to Increase Mortality in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
Systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the impact of delayed surgical intervention on localized and metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
Renal Hypothermia During PN Fails to Preserve Kidney Function
A study of the effect of renal hypothermia during partial nephrectomy should have an immediate impact on surgical practice, according to investigators.
Prostate, Kidney, and Pancreas Surgery Utilization Rates Differ by Income
Study findings corroborate previous research linking higher income with increased healthcare utilization.
Same-Day Robotic Urologic Surgery During the COVID-19 Crisis Not Riskier
A single-institution study found no significant increase in the risk for complications or readmissions between patients who underwent robotic urologic surgery before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Investigators ID Predictors of CKD Progression After Radical Nephrectomy
Kidney microstructural features appear predictive of progressive CKD and mortality following radical nephrectomy.
PN Risks May Outweigh Benefits in Some CKD Cases
Investigators highlight the importance of preoperative renal biopsy to rule out an indolent or benign tumor in patients with stage 4 CKD.
Glasgow Prognostic Score Predicts Adverse Pathology, Survival in UTUC
In a study, modified Glasgow prognostic score predicted nonorgan-confined disease and lymph node invasion at surgery.
Sarcomatoid Features in mRCC Predict Worse Survival After Cytoreductive Nephrectomy
Patients who have metastatic renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation in the primary tumor have an increased risk for death following cytoreductive nephrectomy, study found.
Renal Function After RCC Surgery May Impact Cancer-Specific Survival
Better renal function preservation is associated with decreased cancer-specific death risk among patients who have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 85 mL/min/1.73 m2 after surgery for organ-confined renal cell carcinoma, a study found.
