All 4 patients treated by partial nephrectomy are well and 3 are free of disease (followup of 24 to 32 months). A survey of similar series reveals a survival of 78 percent in patients with solitary renal tumors undergoing partial nephrectomy (mean followup of 52 months). Since the projected survival in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis for the same interval is only 65 percent partial nephrectomy, when technically feasible, would appear to be the treatment of choice in solitary renal carcinoma. In cases involving bilateral lesions the survival rate after partial nephrectomy seems to be similar to that of cases on hemodialysis. © 1978 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByKeeler L and Klauber G (2018) Von Hippel-Lindau Disease and Renal Cell Carcinoma in a 16-Year-Old BoyJournal of Urology, VOL. 147, NO. 6, (1588-1591), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1992.Carini M, Selli C, Barbanti G, Lapini A, Turini D and Costantini A (2018) Conservative Surgical Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma: Clinical Experience and Reappraisal of IndicationsJournal of Urology, VOL. 140, NO. 4, (725-730), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1988.Skinner D (2018) Editorial CommentJournal of Urology, VOL. 140, NO. 4, (730-731), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1988.Kozak B, Keller F, Rosch J and Barry J (2018) Selective Therapeutic Embolization of Renal Cell Carcinoma in Solitary KidneysJournal of Urology, VOL. 137, NO. 6, (1223-1225), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1987.Smith R, deKernion J, Ehrlich R, Skinner D and Kaufman J (2018) Bilateral Renal Cell Carcinoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma in the Solitary KidneyJournal of Urology, VOL. 132, NO. 3, (450-453), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1984.Brannen G, Correa R and Gibbons R (2018) Renal Cell Carcinoma in Solitary KidneysJournal of Urology, VOL. 129, NO. 1, (130-131), Online publication date: 1-Jan-1983.Marshall F (2018) Editorial CommentJournal of Urology, VOL. 129, NO. 1, (131-131), Online publication date: 1-Jan-1983.Christenson P, Craig J, Bibro M and O’Connell K (2018) Cysts Containing Renal Cell Carcinoma in Von Hippel-Lindau DiseaseJournal of Urology, VOL. 128, NO. 4, (798-800), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1982.Pearson J, Weiss J and Tanagho E (2018) A Plea for Conservation of Kidney in Renal Adenocarcinoma Associated with Von Hippel-Lindau DiseaseJournal of Urology, VOL. 124, NO. 6, (910-912), Online publication date: 1-Dec-1980.
