Research paper thumbnail of The Effect of Anatomical Location of Lymph Node Metastases on Cancer Specific Survival in Patients with Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Frontiers in surgery, 2018

Positive nodal status (pN1) is an independent predictor of survival in renal cell carcinoma (RCC)... more Positive nodal status (pN1) is an independent predictor of survival in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. However, no study to date has tested whether the location of lymph node (LN) metastases does affect oncologic outcomes in a population submitted to radical nephrectomy (RN) and extended lymph node dissection (eLND). To describe nodal disease dissemination in clear cell RCC (ccRCC) patients and to assess the effect of the anatomical sites and the number of nodal areas affected on cancer specific mortality (CSM). The study included 415 patients who underwent RN and eLND, defined as the removal of hilar, side-specific (pre/paraaortic or pre/paracaval) and interaortocaval LNs for ccRCC, at two institutions. Descriptive statistics were used to depict nodal dissemination in pN1 patients, stratified according to nodal site and number of involved areas. Multivariable Cox regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to explore the relationship between pN1 disease features and ...

Research paper thumbnail of Long-term Outcomes of Follow-up for Initially Localised Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: RECUR Database Analysis

This study retrospectively analysed a large international database to determine recurrence patterns and overall survival (OS), as part of a wider project to issue recommendations on FU protocols. To analyse associations between RCC recurrences in patients with ccRCC, their risk group stratifications, treatments, and subsequent outcomes. Nonmetastatic ccRCC patients treated with curative intent between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2011, with at least 4 yr of FU, were included. Patient, tumour and recurrence characteristics, Leibovich score, and management and survival data were recorded. Isolated local, solitary, and oligometastatic (three or fewer lesions at a single site) recurrences were considered PC, while all others were probably incurable (PI). Primarily curative surgical treatment of ccRCC while at recurrence detecti...

The clinical data of 769 consecutive patients submitted to partial nephrectomy were prospectively recorded in 19 urological Italian centers from 2009 to 2012 (RECORd1 Project). Of these, the clinical data of 708 patients alive, free from disease recurrence, and with a minimum 2-year functional follow-up were extracted. Patients underwent open (47.3%), laparoscopic (36,6%) or robot-assisted (16.1%) partial nephrectomy. Median baseline eGFR was 84.5 (interquartile range [IQR]: 69.9-99.1) ml/min/1.73m2. Immediate (3rd postoperative day), early (1th month) and late (24th month) renal function impairment >25% from baseline was identified in 25.3%, 21.6% and 14.8% of cases, respectively. Female gender and baseline eGFR were independent predictors of immediate, early and late RF impairment; age at diagnosis of immediate and late impairment; uncontrolled diabetes only to late impairmen...
