Introduction: The rising incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a significant concern in cancer research. This study analyses the characteristics of RCC patients based on their socio-professional category and explores the role of chlorinated solvents as a risk factor.
Materials And Methods: A multicentre, descriptive epidemiological study was conducted using the UroCCR database.
Background: In 2021, the EAU Guidelines implemented a novel, expert opinion-based follow-up scheme, with a three-risk-category system for clear cell (cc) and non-cc renal cell carcinoma (non-ccRCC) after surgery with curative intent. We aimed to validate the novel follow-up scheme and provide data-driven recurrence estimates according to risk groups, to confirm or implement the oncologic surveillance strategy.
Methods: We identified 5,320 patients from a prospectively maintained database involving 28 French referral centers.
Article Synopsis
- Rectal toxicity is a significant concern for patients undergoing radiotherapy for prostate cancer, and a new balloon spacer (ProSpace®) was developed to create a greater distance between the prostate and rectum.
- A study involving 16 patients showed that the spacer effectively reduced rectal radiation exposure while maintaining good dosimetric coverage of the prostate, with significant reductions in the volumes of rectum receiving harmful doses of radiation.
- Over an average follow-up period of 85.5 months, the balloon spacer demonstrated excellent safety, with minimal gastrointestinal toxicity and no significant decline in quality of life reported by patients.
Background And Objective: A hilar location for a renal tumour is sometimes viewed as a limiting factor for safe partial nephrectomy. Our aim was to evaluate perioperative, oncological, and functional outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for hilar tumours (RAPN-H) in comparison to RAPN for nonhilar tumours (RAPN-NH).
Methods: We conducted an observational, multicentre cohort study using prospectively collected data from the French Research Network on Kidney Cancer (UroCCR).
Background And Objective: Data regarding open conversion (OC) during minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for renal tumors are reported from big databases, without precise description of the reason and management of OC. The objective of this study was to describe the rate, reasons, and perioperative outcomes of OC in a cohort of patients who underwent MIS for renal tumor initially. The secondary objective was to find the factors associated with OC.
