Robotic Partial Nephrectomy Outcomes Worse When PSMs Are Present
Positive surgical margins in patients undergoing robotic partial nephrectomy for renal tumors are associated with adverse oncologic outcomes, a study revealed.
Nephrectomy
Neoadjuvant Axitinib May Enable Partial Nephrectomy in Complex Renal Tumors
An interim analysis suggests that axitinib given to patients with complex clear cell renal cell carcinoma tumors significantly reduces tumor size and complexity.
Predictors of Recurrence After RNU for Low-Grade UTUC
Findings may inform surveillance strategies and improve treatment outcomes.
ICIs May Improve mRCC Outcomes in Cytoreductive Nephrectomy Cases
Immune checkpoint inhibitors may be more beneficial than tyrosine kinase inhibitors for patients undergoing cytoreductive nephrectomy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
Rate of Major Complications Low With Living Donor Nephrectomy
Incidence of major complications after hand-assisted laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy low at 2.5%
‘Acceptable’ Long-Term Survival Possible With RN+Thrombectomy for RCC
In a study of patients with RCC and venous thrombus who underwent radical nephrectomy and venous thrombectomy, the median overall survival was 56 months.
Minimally Invasive Partial Nephrectomy Does Not Worsen Cancer Outcomes
A minimally invasive approach does not increase risk for atypical sites of kidney cancer recurrence, a recent study suggests.
Cytoreductive Nephrectomy May Improve Survival in ICI-Treated mRCC
In the era of immune checkpoint inhibitors, cytoreductive nephrectomy retains an important role in mRCC in carefully selected patients, according to investigators.
Sarcopenia Ups Risk for Major mRCC Surgery Complications
Screening for sarcopenia may assist in identifying patients at high risk for increased perioperative morbidity, according to investigators.
Socioeconomics’ Role in Use of Partial Nephrectomy Varies By Race
Even in the highest quartile of neighborhood socioeconomic status, Black patients were significantly less likely to receive partial nephrectomy for localized renal masses compared with White patients.
