The survival benefit of metastasectomy for metastatic non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma: a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionMetastasectomy in patients with metastatic non-ccRCC may provide clinical benefits in terms of improved PFS and OS, especially in patients without liver metastasis and those with metachronous metastasis. (Source: World Journal of Urology)

Oncological results of repeat partial nephrectomy in patients with recurrence after nephron-sparing procedures
CONCLUSION: Repeat partial nephrectomy for local recurrence of kidney cancer leads to an increase in overall survival compared to radical nephrectomy, in the absence of significant differences in cancer-specific and relapse-free survival.PMID:38650411 (Source: Cancer Control)

Short- and long-term post-nephrectomy outcomes for retroperitoneal liposarcoma from a high-volume sarcoma center: a propensity score matching analysis
CONCLUSIONS: RLPS resection with nephrectomy is related to a mild progression of renal impairment; however, dialysis is rare. En bloc nephrectomy for complete resection of RLPS is safe and improves local control.PMID:38652434 | DOI:10.1007/s10147-024-02530-2 (Source: Cancer Control)

Surgical management of renal cell carcinoma with subhepatic inferior vena cava tumor thrombus: a case report and review of the literature
ConclusionOpen surgery is a safe and efficient way to treat renal cell carcinoma involving the renal vein and inferior vena cava. It is superior to other therapeutic modalities. When properly done it provides acceptable long time survival and good quality of life to patients. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Preoperative risk calculator for the probability of completing nephron sparing for kidney cancer
CONCLUSIONS: The probability of PN completion can be preoperatively assessed, with optimal accuracy relaying on routinely available clinical information. The proposed model might be useful in preoperative decision-making, patient consensus, or during preoperative counselling.PATIENT SUMMARY: In patients with a renal mass the probability of completing a partial nephrectomy varies considerably and without a predictive model is invariably inaccurate and subjective. In this study we build-up a risk calculator based on easily available preoperative variables that can predict with optimal accuracy the probability of not removing...

Avoiding "Needless" nephrectomy: What is the role of small renal mass biopsy in 2024?
Urol Oncol. 2024 Apr 19:S1078-1439(24)00422-8. doi: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.04.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurrent guidelines do not mandate routine preoperative renal mass biopsy (RMB) for small renal masses (SRMs), which results in a considerable rate (18%-26%) of needless nephrectomy/partial nephrectomy for benign renal tumors. In light of this ongoing practice, a narrative review was conducted to examine the role of routine RMB for SRM. First, arguments justifying the current non-biopsy approach to SRM are critically reviewed and contested. Second, as a standalone procedure, RMB is critically assessed; RMB was fo...

Preoperative aspirin and anticoagulants do not affect partial nephrectomy bleeding
CONCLUSIONS: No difference in complication rate of partial nephrectomy was determined to be solely due to prior use of anticoagulation or aspirin use alone with appropriate cessation of anticoagulation preoperatively. Overall, patients on anticoagulation are not at a higher risk of intraoperative or postoperative bleeding complications when undergoing partial nephrectomy.PMID:38642461 (Source: Canadian Journal of Urology)
