Article Synopsis
- The incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has increased in recent years, largely due to more frequent imaging studies, and the 5-year survival rate has improved, possibly due to better surgical methods and medical treatments.
- A retrospective study analyzed 588 adult RCC patients treated from 2008 to 2019, focusing on clinical presentation, surgical outcomes, and management trends.
- Results showed a majority of cases were diagnosed incidentally, with robotic surgeries becoming more common, while no significant differences in survival rates were found by region or tumor type, though patients from Riyadh had higher recurrence times.
Background: Since the introduction of nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy (NSRP), there have been concerns about the increased risks of positive surgical margins (PSM) and biochemical progression (BP). We examined the relationship of NSRP with PSM and BP using a large, mature dataset.
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent RP for clinically localized prostate cancer at our center between 1997 and 2008 were identified.
