T1a RCC Death Risk Higher After Ablation vs Partial Nephrectomy
Study included a large, contemporary cohort of patients with T1a renal cell carcinoma undergoing partial nephrectomy or local tumor destruction.

Estimating Post-Nephrectomy GFR May Guide Treatment Decisions
An accurate estimate of future GFR after nephrectomy would help to guide operative strategy and use of adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapies, according to a recent editorial.
Kidney Failure Risk Higher After Kidney Cancer Surgery
Investigators report a cumulative 10-year incidence of end-stage kidney disease of 2.5% among patients who undergo surgery for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which is 10 times higher than in patients without RCC.
New Insight Into Surgical Treatment of Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
Cytoreductive partial nephrectomy and robotic radiosurgery appear to have a place in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, research findings suggest.
Oncologic Outcomes Worse in Papillary RCC Type II
Compared with type I, papillary RCC type II more frequently carries unfavorable tumor characteristics.
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.
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%
