Background: Treatment of human papillomavirus-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPVOPC) results in unprecedented high survival rates but possibly unnecessary toxicity. We hypothesized that upfront surgery and neck dissection followed by reduced-dose adjuvant therapy for early and intermediate HPVOPC would ultimately result in equivalent progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival while reducing toxicity.
Methods: This study was a nonrandomized phase II trial for early-stage HPVOPC treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS) followed by reduced-dose radiotherapy.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how partial nephrectomy affects kidney volume and function by examining data from 119 patients and analyzing volumetric changes post-surgery.
- Results show that longer warm ischemia time (WIT) is linked to greater volume loss in the operated kidney, with more complex tumors resulting in even higher volume loss.
- The findings suggest that kidney volume loss post-nephrectomy significantly impacts kidney function, and more extensive research is needed to further explore these relationships.
Background: The role of race on functional outcomes after robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) is still a matter of debate. We aimed to evaluate the clinical and pathologic characteristics of African American (AA) and Caucasian patients who underwent RPN and analyzed the association between race and functional outcomes.
Methods: Data was obtained from a multi-institutional database of patients who underwent RPN in 6 institutions in the USA.
Objective: To analyse whether selective arterial clamping (SAC) and off-clamp (OC) techniques during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN) are associated with a renal functional benefit in patients with Stage 3-5 chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Patients And Methods: The change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over time was compared between 462 patients with baseline CKD 3-5 that underwent RPN with main arterial clamping (MAC) (n = 375, 81.2%), SAC (n = 48, 10.
