—Robotic and laparoscopic techniques showed advantages over open surgery, including fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and lower mortality in people with renal cancer. Renal cell carcinoma ...

Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) led to a lower rate of complications compared with open partial nephrectomy (OPN) in patients with intermediate- or high-complexity kidney tumors, the ...

Open partial nephrectomy (OPN) is an established treatment option for selected patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC); a minimally invasive laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) can also be ...

A minimally invasive approach does not increase risk for atypical sites of kidney cancer recurrence, a recent study suggests. Partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with a minimally ...

A phase II study of S-1 for the treatment of cytokine and/or tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) refractory metastatic renal cell carcinoma: Updated results. Background: Laparoscopic and robotic partial ...

Pleotrophic action of renal cell carcinoma: Dysregulated microRNAs on hypoxia-related signaling pathways. Background: Partial nephrectomy in upper pole kidney tumors represents a distinct surgical ...

The investigators observed significantly higher postoperative CTC counts in the open radical nephrectomy group compared with the other 3 groups in the study. More circulating tumor cells may enter the ...
