Partial Nephrectomy for Nephroblastoma: A National Cancer Data Base Review.
American Surgeon 2018 March 2
Standard of care for unilateral nephroblastoma includes total nephrectomy (TN) with nodal sampling. We sought to compare the outcomes of TN and partial nephrectomy (PN). We performed a retrospective cohort study of TN and PN for nephroblastoma using the National Cancer Data Base. The outcomes included nodal sampling frequency, margin status, and survival. Categorical and continuous data were evaluated with χ2 and t tests, respectively (P < 0.05). Generalized linear models evaluated nodal sampling and margin status. Cox regression compared survival. In total, 235 patients underwent PN and 3572 had TN. TN patients were 50 per cent more likely to undergo nodal sampling (RR: 1.47, 95% CI 1.30-1.66). There was no difference in margin status (RR: 0.91, 95% CI 0.65-1.28) or overall survival (HR 1.57; 95% CI 0.78-3.19). This study reports the largest review of patients with PN for unilateral nephroblastoma. PN patients had less nodal sampling but similar margin involvement and overall survival.
