There is evidence to support the role of metastasectomy in providing patients with mRCC an improvement in certain clinical outcomes.
Metastasectomy Survival Benefit in mRCC Cases Confirmed
New data show that complete metastasectomy for selected cases of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) prolongs survival in the postcytokine therapy era.

A study showed that mortality risk was reduced by 59% for patients who underwent complete metastasectomy compared with those who did not.
Growth Rates of Small RCC Tumors Vary by Histologic Subtype
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma tumors grow at a faster rate than papillary type 1 tumors, according to a new study.
Plasma DNA Assay Accurately Identifies Renal Cell Carcinoma
An assay that measures tumor-derived cell-free DNA in plasma discriminated between patients with and without renal cell carcinoma with 99% accuracy.
Study Points to a Rise in Renal Carcinomas in Children
The increase is thought to be related to environmental factors.
