Supports feasibility of radical nephrectomy with IVC thrombectomy for RCC at low-volume centers; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before broader adoption.
Cheung et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena caval tumour thrombus (n=12). Radical nephrectomy and IVC tumour thrombectomy was evaluated on 5-year overall survival. Radical nephrectomy and IVC tumour thrombectomy in patients with RCC and IVC tumour thrombus resulted in a 5-year overall survival of 62.5% and a 25% complication rate.
