Key result
Proposed algorithm guides surgical strategy for renal cell carcinoma with caval or right atrial extension.
Proposes a surgical algorithm for managing renal cell carcinoma with extension into the vena cava and right atrium.
May guide surgical planning for RCC with IVC/RA extension; leaves open need for prospective validation before adoption.
Long-term survival after surgical treatment is possible in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) extending in the right atrium. Different surgical techniques for the treatment of patients with RCC extending into the vena cava have been advocated, depending on the proximal extent of the tumor. We present and propose an algorithm regarding the operative strategy depending on the extent of tumor growth.

Christoph Schimmer (2004) conducted a review in Renal cell carcinoma with intravascular extension. Surgical treatment algorithm was evaluated. An algorithm regarding the operative strategy for surgical treatment of renal cell carcinoma extending into the vena cava or right atrium is proposed based on the extent of tumor growth.
