Is home blood pressure monitoring feasible and well accepted in nephrectomized patients for renal cancer? (STAFF study).

CONCLUSION: Our study shows that most patients undergoing nephrectomy for cancer are able to follow HBPM. It should be encouraged for detecting high BP or proteinuria, especially if antiangiogenic therapies are envisaged because of the supplementary risk of hypertension and proteinuria induced by these treatments.
