Abstract
- The management of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) continues to evolve. With the advent of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN), minimally invasive approaches to kidney cancer have developed. Laparoscopic resection of locally advanced RCC yields a similar cancer-control rate with the advantage of decreased morbidity. Although cytoreductive LRN is a technically challenging procedure, it may be completed safely in selected patients. Further prospective study of the role of LRN for advanced RCC is warranted.
