Radical nephrectomy and intracaval thrombectomy for advanced renal cancer with extensive inferior vena cava involvement utilising cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermic circulatory arrest: Is it worthwhile?
ConclusionsRadical surgery for patients with extensive IVC tumour thrombus has acceptable operative morbidity and mortality. It provides symptom palliation and the possibility of long-term survival. Improvements in preoperative detection of occult metastasis may improve case selection and newer adjuvant therapies may improve survival in this high-risk group.
