Nephron Sparing Surgery for Appropriately Selected Renal Cell Carcinoma Between 4 and 7 Cm Results in Outcome Similar to Radical Nephrectomy

Abstract

There were no statistically significant differences in cancer specific survival and distant metastases-free survival between patients treated with NSS and RN for 4 to 7 cm RCC after adjusting for important pathological features. NSS for 4 to 7 cm RCC results in excellent outcome in appropriately selected patients.
