What Is Known?Â
The partial nephrectomy is preferable management due to preserving renal
function. However, studies still show controversial results. The
prospective randomized controlled trial by the EORTCÂ suggested that RN
resulted in superior overall survival compared with PN. There are
factors described for preserving renal function, such as the
preoperative parenchymal quality, the volume of the preserved
parenchyma, and ischemia time and type.
