V9-09 ROBOTIC RESECTION OF LOCALLY RECURRENT RENAL CELL CARCINOMA

Treatment of Locally Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

Context: Locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is associated with a poor prognosis despite radical surgery. The surgical approach can differ according to tumour size, location, and vascular involvement. The development of molecular targeted therapies aroused new interest in adjuvant and neoadjuvant strategies. Objective: The aim of this article was to review trends in surgical approaches ...

Management of locally advanced renal cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma accounts for approximately 3% of adult malignancies and over 90% of primary renal tumors. Recurrence rates for patients with locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (LARCC) remain high. METHODS The authors review literature regarding prognostic factors, potential biomarkers, surgical strategies, and adjuvant therapy trials for patients with LARCC. RESULTS Molec...

Pulmonary resection of metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Between 1965 and 1989, 96 consecutive patients (64 men and 32 women) underwent complete pulmonary resection for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Median age was 63 years (range, 33 to 82 years). Median time between nephrectomy and pulmonary resection was 3.4 years (range, 0 to 18.4 years). Forty-eight patients had solitary metastasis, 16 had two, 18 had three, and 14 had more than three. Wedge e...

Intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT) in patients with locally recurrent renal cell carcinoma

BACKGROUND To analyze our experience with intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT) followed by moderate doses of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in patients with locally recurrent renal cell carcinoma. METHODS From 1992 to 2010, 17 patients with histologically proven, locally recurrent renal cell carcinoma (median tumor size 7 cm) were treated by surgery and IOERT with a media...
