Excerpt

We congratulate Haferkamp et al.1 for their work trying to identify prognostic factors predictive of survival for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who undergo nephron-sparing surgery for imperative indications. Although in the past decade, there has been a trend to move from radical nephrectomy to nephron preservation, many renal units are still lost unnecessarily. Identifying those patients at a higher risk for metastatic disease and those who are likely to fail local therapy is of paramount importance. …
