Nephron Sparing Surgery in Incidental Versus Suspected Renal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract: From 1956 to 1992 nephron sparing surgery was performed in 216 patients with sporadic renal cell carcinoma. Renal cell carcinoma was suspected in 121 patients and was an incidental finding in 95. Compared to suspected renal cell carcinoma, incidental tumors were smaller (p = 0.0004), more often unilateral (p = 0.001) and of lower pathological stage (p = 0.001). Incidental tumors were also associated with improved 5-year cancer-specific survival (p = 0.003) and a lower rate of postoperative tumor recurrence (p … Show more

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13] In the present series, by the end of the study period, in the incidental group there was only one case of progression, while among the 56 patients in the symptomatic group, 5 showed progression and 10 died. The probability of disease-free survival after 5 and 9 years was respectively, 98% and 98% for the incidental group and 62% and 53% for the symptomatic group (p < 0.001).…”

“…4 The most common symptoms are hematuria, low back pain and palpable mass, and these events occur in isolation in 35-59%, 34-41% and 30-45% of the cases, respectively. [5][6][7] The 5-year survival rate for symptomatic tumors is 30-83% while for incidental tumors it is 83-95% [8][9][10][11][12][13] and, according to tumor staging, the rate is 91% for PT1, 74% for PT2, 67% for PT3 and 32% for PT4. 14 Metastatic disease is seen in 25-40% of the cases at diagnosis, 15,16 with a 5-year survival rate of 13%.…”

“…The major disadvantage of Nephron sparing surgery for RCC is the risk of postoperative local tumor recurrence in the kidney that was operated on, which has been observed in 4% to 6% of patients 6,7 .Other disadvantages are hemorrhage, urinary leakage, fistula formation, renal artery thrombosis.…”
