Abstract:
Partial nephrectomy is the gold standard for the renal tumours less than 7 to 10cm whenever feasible in order to preserve renal function. The extension of nephron-sparing surgery using a mini-invasive approach is possible by robotic surgery. Radical nephrectomy is mandatory in the other situations and especially in case of locally advanced renal carcinoma. The place of cytoreductive nephrectomy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma is the purpose of the CARMENA trial. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are currently the first line treatment; but in the near future new immunotherapy by checkpoints molecules could crucially change the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Numerous trials in a neoadjuvant or adjuvant settings are ongoing.
