[Effect of kidney occlusion on survival in renal cell carcinoma: a 10-year retrospective study].

Abstract

84 out of 116 patients suffering from renal cancer with comparable tumor stages were nephrectomized. 39 out of these 84 patients have had an additional embolization preoperatively. The survival rate and the development of metastases did not show any significant difference between only nephrectomized and occluded plus nephrectomized patients.
