The probability of surgical success with telesurgery for radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy for small renal masses was non-inferior to local robotic surgery in a small randomized trial. The ...

Establishment of patient-derived renal cell carcinoma (RCC) models based on orthotopic xenografts (PDX) and cancer stem cell (CSC) isolation to provide prognostic and predictive information. This is ...

USA: Researchers have found in a new study that acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication following radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy. The majority of AKI cases ...

Nephron-sparing surgery may not reduce the risk for later kidney failure in patients with kidney cancer and stage 4 CKD. Despite the promise of nephron-sparing, new study findings suggest that the ...

Nephron-sparing management is one strategy to reduce risks, according to investigators. Older age is significantly associated with greater kidney function decline after radical nephrectomy in patients ...

Background. A 57-year-old woman presented to the emergency department at a community hospital with a 2-month history of fatigue and right-sided flank and abdominal pain. Noncontrast CT of the abdomen ...

Comparative effectiveness of front-line agents in the treatment of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. International, expanded access program of everolimus in patients with metastatic renal ...

December 11, 2014 - Hospitals with robotic surgical systems are more likely to perform "nephron-sparing" partial nephrectomy--a recommended alternative to removal of the entire kidney--in patients ...

Various factors, like disease subtype, genetics and stage can all play into the treatment of kidney cancer. Types of treatment for kidney cancer consist of surgery, ablation and other local therapy, ...

Immunotherapy combinations tended to improve outcomes for patients with metastatic kidney cancer who go on to receive surgery. Pre-surgical immunotherapy combinations reduce tumor size and help kill ...
