Age Distribution for Partial and Radical Nephrectomy: Whose Nephrons are Being Spared?

CONCLUSION: The rate of PN for all patients with RCC in this series and especially for patients with T1 RCC is significantly lower in older patients, thereby not reflecting the need and understanding for NSS in the higher age segment. Broader education and teaching of NSS might improve treatment of RCC in the future. PMID: 24155056 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
