The early oncological goal of PN is to achieve negative margins. We prospectively evaluated 4308 patients who underwent surgical treatment for renal tumors between January 2013 and December 2016 at 26 urological Italian centres (the RECORd 2 project). In our multi-institutional report, CCI, laparoscopic approach, enucleoresection technique, lymphovascular invasion and tumor upstaging were independent predictors of PSM in patients treated with PN for localized RCC.
