Manejo laparoscópico del carcinoma renal con trombo en vena cava: detalles técnicos

Rev. med. Rosario; 84 (3), 2018
Introducción. El trombo vascular es frecuente en el carcinoma de células renales, pudiendo extenderse a lavena cava inferior hasta un 15 % de los pacientes. La cirugía radical es el único tratamiento con potencialcurativo. La supervivencia cáncer específica a 5 años alcanza el 64 %. La cirugía la...

Localized chromophobe renal cell carcinoma: preoperative imaging judgment and laparoscopic simple enucleation for treatment

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the preoperative imaging manifestation and therapeutic effect of laparoscopic simple enucleation (SE) for localized chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC). Materials and Methods: Clinical data of 36 patients who underwent laparoscopic SE of localized chRCC at our insti...

Prognostic role of preoperative albumin to globulin ratio in predicting survival of clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate the prognostic role of preoperative albumin/globulin ratio (AGR) in predicting disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in localized and locally advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. Patients and Methods: 162 patients who met the criteria...

The preoperative stratification of patients based on renal scan data is unable to predict the functional outcome after partial nephrectomy

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: eGFR-categories are used to predict functional outcome after partial nephrectomy (PN); no study categorized patients according to preoperative renal scan (RS) data. Aim of the study was to evaluate if stratification of patients according to RS is a reliable method to predict minor...

Positive surgical margins are predictors of local recurrence in conservative kidney surgery for pT1 tumors

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Objectives: The clinical significance of positive surgical margin (PSM) after a Nephron Sparing Surgery (NSS) is controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between PSM and the risk of disease recurrence in patients with pT1 kidney tumors who underwent NSS. Materials an...

Can preoperative neutrophil lymphocyte ratio predict malignancy in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy because of renal mass?

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the importance of preoperative neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) predicting malignancy in patients who undergo partial nephrectomy due to renal mass. Materials and Methods: Seventy nine patients who underwent open partial nephrectomy for renal masses were included in this ...

¿Existen diferencias clínicas, patológicas y evolutivas del cáncer renal en relación con la edad?

Partial nephrectomy for T3aN0M0 renal cell carcinoma: shall we step forward?

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (5), 2017
ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the prognosis of non-metastatic T3a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with partial nephrectomy (PN). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 125 patients with non-metastatic T3a RCC. Patients undergoing PN and radical nephrectomy (RN) were strictly matched by clinic...

Histopathological analysis of the non - tumour parenchyma following radical nephrectomy: can it predict renal functional outcome?

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction Radical nephrectomy (RN), a recommended treatment option for patients with Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) leads to an inevitable decline in global renal function. Pathological changes in the non-tumour parenchyma of the kidney may help predict the function of the remaining kidney. Ma...
