Surgical treatment for renal masses in the elderly: analysis of oncological, surgical and functional outcomes

Int. braz. j. urol; 45 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose: Radical treatment in elderly patients with renal tumor remains debatable due to uncertainties regarding the risk of surgical complications, risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and survival benefit. The aim of the study was to assess outcomes of radical treatment for renal cancer in ...

Prognostic significance of Body Mass index in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (6), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the relationship between the pretreatment body mass index (BMI) and the clinical outcomes in patients with localized stage I - III renal cell carcinoma (RCC) surgically treated. Materials and Methods: From January 2000 to December 2012, 798 patients with stage I - III...

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 effect of AST/ALT (De Ritis) ratio on survival and its relation to tumor histopathological variables in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Purpose To assess the relationship between De Ritis (aspartate aminotransaminase [AST]/Alanine aminotransaminase [ALT]) ratio and pathological variables and whether it is an independent prognostic factor. Materials and Methods We analyzed 298 consecutive patients who underwent radical or parti...

Analysis of various potential prognostic markers and survival data in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose Clear cell renal cell cancers frequently harbor Von Hippel-Lindau gene mutations, leading to stabilization of the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) and their target genes. In this study, we investigated the relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), HIF-1α, HIF...

RESUMO Objetivo: identificar fatores prognósticos envolvidos no carcinoma de células renais não metastático. Métodos: estudo tipo coorte retrospectivo, utilizando dados obtidos em revisão de prontuários de pacientes portadores de carcinoma de células renais, submetidos à nefrectomia radical ou...

Diagnostic relevance of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the head and neck: An evaluation of 22 cases in 671 patients

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignant tumor that metastasizes early, and patients often present with metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis.

Functional and oncologic outcomes after nephron-sparing surgery in a solitary kidney: 10 years of experience

Int. braz. j. urol; 42 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate functional and oncologic outcomes of partial nephrectomy (PN) in patients with a solitary kidney. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with a solitary kidney undergoing nephron-sparing surgery between March 2003 and March 2013 was performed. GFR w...

Brazilian data of renal cell carcinoma in a public university hospital

Int. braz. j. urol; 42 (1), 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose Among renal malignancies, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 85% of cases. Stage is a relevant prognostic factor; 5-year survival ranges from 81% to 8% according to the stage of disease. The treatment is based on surgery and molecularly targeted therapy has emerged as a choice for...
