Kidney Cancer, Version 2.2017, NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology
Summary
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines offer expert recommendations for managing clear cell and non-clear cell kidney cancer. These guidelines are regularly updated by a multidisciplinary panel to reflect the latest clinical data.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Urology
- Pathology
Background:
- Kidney cancer, including clear cell and non-clear cell renal carcinoma, requires comprehensive management strategies.
- Multidisciplinary input is crucial for developing effective clinical guidelines.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline the NCCN Guidelines for Kidney Cancer.
- To provide multidisciplinary recommendations for patient care.
Main Methods:
- Development by a multidisciplinary panel of experts from NCCN Member Institutions.
- Inclusion of medical oncologists, hematologists, radiation oncologists, urologists, and pathologists.
Main Results:
- The guidelines cover clinical management for both clear cell and non-clear cell renal carcinoma.
- The NCCN Guidelines are continuously evolving and updated annually or more frequently based on new data.
Conclusions:
- The NCCN Guidelines serve as a vital resource for the clinical management of kidney cancer.
- Regular updates ensure that the guidelines incorporate the most current evidence-based practices.

801
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living...

Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) results in an inability to maintain fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. Effective nursing management is critical in improving patient outcomes and includes comprehensive patient assessment and targeted interventions.Comprehensive Patient AssessmentA detailed history collection is essential, focusing on any recent infections, nephrotoxic medication use, or chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes that may contribute to AKI. During the physical...
