Mp42-08 renal cancer surgery for patients without preexisting chronic kidney disease: is there a survival benefit for elective partial nephrectomy?

Retrospective studies suggest that partial nephrectomy (PN) provides improved survival compared to radical nephrectomy (RN), even when performed electively. However, selection bias may be contributing and further investigation is required. We evaluated factors associated with non-renal cancer-related survival (NRCS) after PN or RN for patients with preoperative GFR ≥60ml/min/1.73m2.
