Purpose: We present our findings in a series of T1a renal cell carcinoma treated with elective simple enucleation, specifically reporting the incidence of local recurrence, and progression-free and disease specific survival rates. Materials and Methods: A total of 107 patients who underwent elective nephron sparing surgery performed with simple enucleation from January 1989 to December 2000 were studied retrospectively. None of the patients had preoperative or intraoperative suspicion of positive nodes. All patients were free from distant metastases before surgery (M0). Patient status was last evaluated in July 2004. Mean (median, range) followup was 88.3 (84, 44 to 175) months. Results: Pathological review according to the 2002 TNM classification showed that 95% (102 of 107) of tumors were pT1a, 4% (4 of 107) pT1b and 1% (1 of 107) pT3a. Mean (SD, median, range) tumor greatest dimension was 2.7 (0.93, 2.5, 0.6 to 5) cm. None of the patients died in the immediate postoperative period (within the first 30 days). There were no major complications such as bleeding and urinary leakage/urinoma requiring reoperation. The 5 and 10-year cancer specific survival was 99% and 97.8%, respectively. The 5 and 10-year progression-free survival was 98.1% and 94.7%, respectively. Overall 3 patients had disease progression (2.8%) of whom 2 (1.9%) were local recurrence, 1 alone and 1 associated with distant metastases diagnosed 12 months earlier. Conclusions: Simple tumor enucleation is a safe and acceptable approach for elective nephron sparing surgery. It provides excellent long-term progression-free and cancer specific survival rates, and is not associated with an increased risk of local recurrence compared with partial nephrectomy.

Abstract

Purpose: We present our findings in a series of T1a renal cell carcinoma treated with elective simple enucleation, specifically reporting the incidence of local recurrence, and progression-free and disease specific survival rates. Materials and Methods: A total of 107 patients who underwent elective nephron sparing surgery performed with simple enucleation from January 1989 to December 2000 were studied retrospectively. None of the patients had preoperative or intraoperative suspicion of positive nodes. All patients were free from distant metastases before surgery (M0). Patient status was last evaluated in July 2004. Mean (median, range) followup was 88.3 (84, 44 to 175) months. Results: Pathological review according to the 2002 TNM classification showed that 95% (102 of 107) of tumors were pT1a, 4% (4 of 107) pT1b and 1% (1 of 107) pT3a. Mean (SD, median, range) tumor greatest dimension was 2.7 (0.93, 2.5, 0.6 to 5) cm. None of the patients died in the immediate postoperative period (within the first 30 days). There were no major complications such as bleeding and urinary leakage/urinoma requiring reoperation. The 5 and 10-year cancer specific survival was 99% and 97.8%, respectively. The 5 and 10-year progression-free survival was 98.1% and 94.7%, respectively. Overall 3 patients had disease progression (2.8%) of whom 2 (1.9%) were local recurrence, 1 alone and 1 associated with distant metastases diagnosed 12 months earlier. Conclusions: Simple tumor enucleation is a safe and acceptable approach for elective nephron sparing surgery. It provides excellent long-term progression-free and cancer specific survival rates, and is not associated with an increased risk of local recurrence compared with partial nephrectomy.
