End-Stage Renal Disease After Renal Surgery in Patients with Normal Preoperative Kidney Function: Balancing Surgical Strategy and Individual Disorders at Baseline

Although nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) has demonstrated benefit in terms of renal function preservation, it is unclear whether NSS might also decrease the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) relative to radical nephrectomy (RN). In the current paper, we aimed to report the rate and the predictors of ESRD after surgery, accounting for detailed individual baseline characteristics and comorbidities. A multi-institutional collaboration among five European tertiary care centers allowed study of 2027 patients with normal preoperative renal function and a clinically localized T1abN0M0 renal mass. Cox regression analyses were used to predict the risk of ESRD (defined as the onset of a postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2) after adjusting for the individual baseline risk of developing chronic kidney disease. Univariable ESRD rates at 5 and 10 yr of follow-up were virtually equivalent for patients who underwent NSS (1.5% and 2.5%, respectively) versus RN (1.9% and 2.7%, respectively; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.4\ue2\u80\u931.6). However, diabetes, smoking, uncontrolled hypertension, and other comorbidities were consistently more frequent in the NSS group relative to their RN counterparts. After adjusting for detailed baseline individual characteristics, NSS was shown to have an independent protective effect relative to RN (HR: 0.4; 95% CI, 0.2\ue2\u80\u930.8; p = 0.02) at multivariable analyses. Patient summary After accounting for individual baseline characteristics, such as age, diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, or other comorbidities, partial nephrectomy independently protects against end-stage renal disease and the consequent need for dialysis relative to radical nephrectomy

Head to Head Impact of Margin, Ischemia, Complications, Score Versus a Novel Trifecta Score on Oncologic and Functional Outcomes After Robotic-assisted Partial Nephrectomy: Results of a Multicenter Series

BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of data describing the ability of margin, ischemia, complications, score (MIC) and trifecta in predicting long-term outcomes of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).OBJECTIVE: To compare a novel trifecta (negative margins, no significant complications, and perioperative estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] decrease 6430%) versus standard MIC as predictors of oncologic and functional results in a large series of RAPNs.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Between 2009 and 2019, a multicenter dataset was queried for patients with nonmetastatic renal masses who underwent RAPN at eight participating institutions.INTERVENTION: RAPN.OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: MIC and trifecta achievement were determined for the overall cohort and a subgroup undergoing off-clamp RAPN (ocRAPN), respectively. The overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and new onset of end-stage renal disease (ESRD; defined as eGFR <30 ml/min) probabilities were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression analyses were used to identify predictors of OS, RFS, and ESRD. For all analyses, two-sided p < 0.05 was considered significant.RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Out of 1807 patients, MIC and trifecta were achieved in 71.1% (n = 1285) and 82.6% (n = 1492), respectively, and once restricted to the ocRAPN cohort, in 95.6% (n = 625) and 81.6% (n = 534), respectively. On Kaplan-Meier analysis, both MIC and trifecta achievement predicted higher OS and lower ESRD probabilities (all p < 0.014), while only trifecta achievement was a predictor of RFS probabilities (p = 0.009). On multivariable Cox regression, MIC did not predict any of the endpoints independently, while trifecta achievement was an independent predictor of higher OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.18-0.86; p = 0.019) and lower ESRD development probabilities (HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.15-0.72; p = 0.005).CONCLUSIONS: Trifecta, initially described as comprehensive measures of perioperative outcomes, needs to stand the test of time. Compared with MIC, the recent trifecta was an independent predictor of clinically significant endpoints, namely, survival and ESRD development probabilities.PATIENT SUMMARY: Our novel trifecta represents a reliable method for estimating survival and development of end-stage renal disease after robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy

The Impact of Histological Subtype on the Incidence, Timing, and Patterns of Recurrence in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma After Surgery-Results from RECUR Consortium

Background: Current follow-up strategies for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after curative surgery rely mainly on risk models and the treatment delivered, regardless of the histological subtype. Objective: To determine the impact of RCC histological subtype on recurrence and to examine the incidence, pattern, and timing of recurrences to improve follow-up recommendations. Design, setting, and participants: This study included consecutive patients treated surgically with curative intention (ie, radical and partial nephrectomy) for non-metastatic RCC (cT1-4, M0) between January 2006 and December 2011 across 15 centres from 10 countries, as part of the euRopEan association of urology renal cell carcinoma guidelines panel Collaborative multicenter consortium for the studies of follow-Up and recurrence patterns in Radically treated renal cell carcinoma patients (RECUR) database project. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: The impact of histological subtype (ie, clear cell RCC [ccRCC], papillary RCC [pRCC], and chromophobe RCC [chRCC]) on recurrence-free survival (RFS) was assessed via univariate and multivariate analyses, adjusting for potential interactions with important variables (stage, grade, risk score, etc.) Patterns of recurrence for all histological subtypes were compared according to recurrence site and risk criteria. Results and limitations: Of the 3331 patients, 62.2% underwent radical nephrectomy and 37.8% partial nephrectomy. A total of 2565 patients (77.0%) had ccRCC, 535 (16.1%) had pRCC, and 231 (6.9%) had chRCC. The median postoperative follow-up period was 61.7 (interquartile range: 47-83) mo. Patients with ccRCC had significantly poorer 5-yr RFS than patients with pRCC and chRCC (78% vs 86% vs 91%, p = 0.001). The most common sites of recurrence for ccRCC were the lung and bone. Intermediate-/high-risk pRCC patients had an increased rate of lymphatic recurrence, both mediastinal and retroperitoneal, while recurrence in chRCC was rare (8.2%), associated with higher stage and positive margins, and predominantly in the liver and bone. Limitations include the retrospective nature of the study. Conclusions: The main histological subtypes of RCC exhibit a distinct pattern and dynamics of recurrence. Results suggest that intermediate- to high-risk pRCC may benefit from cross-sectional abdominal imaging every 6 mo until 2 yr after surgery, while routine imaging might be abandoned for chRCC except for abdominal computed tomography in patients with advanced tumour stage or positive margins. Patient summary: In this analysis of a large database from 15 countries around Europe, we found that the main histological subtypes of renal cell carcinoma have a distinct pattern and dynamics of recurrence. Patients should be followed differently according to subtype and risk score. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of European Association of Urology.Peer reviewe
