Adrenal gland removal during renal cell carcinoma surgery may reduce local recurrence. While not statistically significant, disease-free survival was higher in patients who underwent adrenalectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common kidney cancer.
  • The management of the ipsilateral adrenal gland during radical nephrectomy for early-stage RCC is debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of ipsilateral adrenal gland removal on local recurrence and disease-free survival in patients with stage A and B renal cell carcinoma.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 46 patients with histopathologically confirmed stage A and B renal cell carcinoma.
  • Patients underwent radical nephrectomy, with or without ipsilateral adrenal gland removal.
  • Follow-up included assessment for local recurrence and disease-free survival.

Main Results:

  • 23 of 46 patients had ipsilateral adrenal glands in surgical specimens.

  • Two local recurrences occurred in patients without adrenalectomy; none occurred in patients with adrenalectomy.
  • Three-year disease-free survival rates were 78% for patients without adrenalectomy and 100% for patients with adrenalectomy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Adrenalectomy in conjunction with nephrectomy for early-stage renal cell carcinoma may be associated with improved outcomes.
    • While not statistically significant in this cohort, the trend suggests potential benefit.
    • Ipsilateral adrenal gland removal should be considered if technically feasible during radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma.
