Good results seen with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy following selective embolization of tumor
The short-term oncological and functional outcomes for partial nephrectomy are comparable for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy following selective embolization of tumor (LPNE) in a hybrid operating room and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). A longer follow-up and a larger cohort of patients would be necessary to verify the benefits of LPNE, which appears to be a very interesting alternative to RAPN.07/25/2018 (Source: Kidney Cancer Association)

Poorer RCC outcomes with incidental upstaging after partial nephrectomy
Patients with incidental pathologic T3a (pT3a) upstaging after partial nephrectomy (PN) have significantly reduced recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) when compared to patients whose disease isn't upstages from pT1a-b.07/25/2018 (Source: Kidney Cancer Association)

Efficacy of Nivolumab in a Patient with Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma and End-Stage Renal Disease on Dialysis
Treatment of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis poses a therapeutic challenge, particularly as this patient group was excluded from the pivotal clinical trials. In addition, there is uncertainty regarding drug dosing/pharmacokinetics, lack of safety and efficacy data, and potential for increased toxicity when using targeted therapy or immunotherapy for the management of patients with mRCC on dialysis.07/25/2018 (Source: Kidney Cancer Association)
