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.
Nephrectomy
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.
Sunitinib Timing for mRCC Does Not Affect CN Complication Rates
Investigators observed no differences in surgery time, blood loss, and hospital stay, with deferred vs upfront cytoreductive nephrectomy.
Partial Nephrectomy Preferable for T1a RCC
In a population-based study, PN was associated with improved cancer-specific survival by 56%.
PN, RN Offer Comparable Long-Term Survival for T1b RCC
In a meta-analysis, partial and radical nephrectomy were associated with similar long-term overall survival, but cancer-specific survival was better with radical nephrectomy.
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
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.
