Post-Nephrectomy AKI Harms Long-Term Renal Functional Recovery
The risk of negative renal outcomes, including CKD upgrading, increases along with duration of acute kidney injury following partial nephrectomy
Nephrectomy
Mitomycin Gel for UTUC Has Potential to Avert Nephrectomy
Instillation of an investigational mitomycin gel formulation obviated the need for nephrectomy in nearly half of individuals with low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma.
Worse Kidney Cancer Outcomes Linked to Positive Surgical Margins
Positive surgical margins in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy for cT1b renal cell carcinoma are associated with worse 5-year recurrence-free and overall survival.
Elevated CRP Before RCC Surgery Predicts Renal Function Decline
Elevated C-reactive protein levels prior to nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma is associated with an increased risk of renal impairment, a study found.
Delayed Nephrectomy for pT3 RCC Ups Mortality Risk
Delaying surgery more than 10 weeks after diagnosis of pT3 renal cell carcinoma is associated with increased 5-year mortality risk.
Surgery May Not Be Most Appropriate Frontline Tx in mRCC
Evidence suggests that starting on systemic drug therapy immediately may be the best approach for some patients with metastatic RCC.
Personalized Tx May Extend Life in CKD With Small Renal Tumors
Routine partial nephrectomy yielded longest life expectancy in patients with normal renal function.
Benign Pathology After Partial Nephrectomy More Common Than Thought
New study finds a prevalence of benign pathologic findings after PN of 30.9%.
Off-Clamp Partial Nephrectomy Better for Preserving Renal Function
In a study, the off-clamp approach to partial nephrectomy also was associated with lower risk for acute kidney injury.
Robotic Partial Nephrectomy Mostly Superior to Other Surgeries
Robotic PN was associated with significantly lower rates of complications, cancer recurrence, and mortality compared with open and laparoscopic PN.
