Trend and Impact of Nephrectomy Centralisation on Renal Cell Carcinoma Survival
… yet clear whether this benefit is seen in RCC nephrectomy. There is therefore a need to better understand how RCC nephrectomy has changed in recent years and whether patient outcomes, particularly survival, have improved. Characterisation of the benefit of nephrectomy centralisation is also …

Compensatory renal hypertrophy, mitochondria and redox status
… infections and congenital conditions and after nephrectomy. Nephrectomy, or surgical removal of a kidney or a section of a kidney, is performed for treatment of unilateral secondary renal cancer, infections and for kidney transplantation. As a result, the remaining renal tissue undergoes …

The Pharmacokinetics of Oxytetracycline in Dogs With Normal and Impaired Renal Function
… of one renal cortex and contralateral nephrectomy to enable the adjustment of therapeutic drug doses in relation to renal function. The magnitude of renal dysfunction, defined by the percentage of normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), was estimated by ('125)I-iothalamate total body …

Comparative Analysis of Radiologically Measured Size and True Size of Renal Tumors
… 238 patients who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy for a renal tumor at our institution were reviewed. Radiologic tumor size defined as the largest diameter on a CT scan was compared to pathologic tumor size defined as the largest diameter on gross pathologic examination. RESULTS: There …

Values and Preferences of Patients with Small Renal Masses: Integrating Evidence and Patient Perspectives
… with preference-sensitive choices among partial nephrectomy, percutaneous thermal ablation, and active surveillance. This thesis set out to generate decision-ready evidence on both short-term burdens and longer-term oncologic outcomes for each option, and to explore how patients value the …

Renal Transplant Survey: how standardised is a standard kidney transplant?
… abnormalities were noted in open living donor nephrectomy, 63.3% would prefer to use the left kidney, and the recipient transplantation would be performed on the right side (76.7%). The majority (90%) of surgeons would preserve the vas deferens, but sacrifice the round ligament and inferior …

Thermal Ablation Alters The Tumor Microenvironment Activating A Robust Immune Response.
… <p>Retrospectively 9 patients with nephrectomy alone (control) were compared to 16 patients treated with ablation. Gene microarray analysis and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for presence of immune cell subtypes were performed on the tissue samples. Prospectively, blood was collected …

Correlation of Caveolin-1 Expression on Tissue Microarray with Prognosis in Renal Cell Carcinoma
… RCC from 82 patients who had undergone radical nephrectomy were stained immunohistochemically with specific antibodies against caveolin-1. Caveolin-1 immunostaining was semi-quantitatively estimated based on intensity. The expression pattern of caveolin-1 was compared with the …
