Current trends in renal cell carcinoma
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Scientific Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Kidney cancer is one of the most lethal urological malignancies and surgery was the only treatment of modality a decade ago. Open radical nephrectomy was the procedure of choice for long time for all malignant masses. The increase use of imaging modalities has led to diagnose small renal masses and most of the tumors are incidentally detected now a day[1]. Depending on tumor size, age and associated co-morbidities, various management options has evolved like AS, minimal invasive ablation, nephron sparing surgery, laparoscopic and robotic nephrectomy, open radical nephrectomy. Role of renal biopsy has become proven in many circumstances. Targeted systemic chemotherapy has shown improved progression free survival in metastatic RCC.
