A matched case-control study on the prognosis of native kidney neoplasia in renal transplant recipients

Abstract

A matched case-control study on the prognosis of native kidney neoplasia in renal transplant recipientsAbstract A matched case-control study was performed to compare the prognosis of six renal transplant recipients with a control group of nontransplant patients, both groups presenting with native kidney tumors. Patients were matched for age, gender, neoplasm histology, and TNM classification. The follow-up ranged from 8 to 131 months (median 32 months) after nephrectomy or nephroureterectomy of the native kidney. Five out of six recipients retained good graft function. No evidence of recurrent local disease or distant metastasis of kidney neoplasms was observed in either group.
