Abstract
Background
Multivisceral en bloc resection with the ipsilateral kidney is commonly performed in patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RLPS). We evaluated the effect of nephrectomy on short- and long-term outcomes in patients with RLPS.
Methods
Data from a prospectively maintained database of the Peking University Cancer Hospital Sarcoma Center between April 2011 and August 2022 were analyzed. We classified the RLPS patients who underwent surgery into nephrectomy group (NP) and non-nephrectomy group (non-NP). Patients were matched using a 1:1 propensity score to eliminate baseline differences between groups. Postoperative renal function outcomes, major morbidity, and mortality were analyzed to compare short-term outcomes after nephrectomy. Differences in local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared by Kaplan–Meier analysis with respect to oncological benefits.
Results
In the matched cohort, patients in the NP group had significantly higher postoperative eGFR and CKD stages, but none required dialysis. Patients between NP and non-NP had a comparable major morbidity (p = 0.820) and 60-day mortality (p = 0.475). Patients in the NP group had a higher 5‐year LRFS rates than those in the non-NP group (34.5 vs. 17.8%, p = 0.015), and similar 5‐year OS rates (52.4 vs. 47.1%, p = 0.401). Nephrectomy was an independent risk factor for LRFS, but not for major morbidity or OS.
Conclusions
RLPS resection with nephrectomy is related to a mild progression of renal impairment; however, dialysis is rare. En bloc nephrectomy for complete resection of RLPS is safe and improves local control.
