Partial versus radical nephrectomy for T1b-2N0M0 renal tumors: A propensity score matching study based on the SEER database

Abstract: PurposeControversy continues on the tailored therapy for patients with larger renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We investigated whether partial nephrectomy (PN) can improve patient prognosis compared to radical nephrectomy (RN) and the indications for each approach in patients with T1b-2N0M0 RCC.Materials and methodsA total of 9907 patients were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2004 to 2012. Propensity scores were used to balance the selection bias of undergoing PN. Overa… Show more

“…Multiple studies have assessed the survival of patient undergoing partial vs. radical nephrectomy and found that partial nephrectomy is associated with a better overall survival as well as cancer specific survival. However, populations with specific cancer stages, T1b and T2, were the populations demonstrating better survival outcomes following partial nephrectomy (36)(37)(38).…”

“…In the present study, no significant differences in 5-year and 10-year OS were found between the PN and the RN groups for the treatment of T1b renal tumors. Zhang et al found that OS was independent of the type of surgical procedure in the propensity score matching [27].…”

“…As the oncological outcomes had been adjusted for confounders, we extracted oncological outcomes from the study [ 22 ] for its larger sample size. There were several studies based on data accessed from a national database [ [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , 23 , 24 ], and we excluded all of these because of the potential data duplication and inner heterogeneity of medical institutions.…”

“…The role of PN still needs to be confirmed for T1b (4–7 cm) renal masses. Several analyses of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database have suggested that PN provides equivalent cancer control to RN for both T1b and T2 renal masses [ [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] ], but PN use still remains limited in both Europe [ 14 ] and the USA [ 11 ].…”
