To determine the optimal surgical margins in nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) for T1b renal cell carcinomas (RCC).
We retrospectively assessed 87 T1b RCC specimens after radical nephrectomy through whole-kidney continuous sections, with 92 T1a RCCs included as controls. The completeness of pseudocapsule (PS) and extra-PS lesions and multifocality were microscopically examined, as was the greatest distance between extra-PS lesions and primary tumors.
The rates of incomplete PS (34% [30/87] vs 18% [17/92], P = .015) and positive cancer lesions beyond the PS (39% [34/87] vs 25% [23/92], P = .043) were significantly higher in the T1b than in the T1a group. All extra-PS lesions were located within 3.0 mm of the primary tumor. Multifocal tumors were found in 6% (5/87) of patients with T1b and 5% (5/92) of patients with T1a tumors (P = .928).
These results indicate that 4 mm may be the optimal surgical margin for NSS for patients with T1b RCC because all extra-PS lesions were located within 3 mm of the primary tumors.
确定肾部分切除术(NSS)中 T1b 肾细胞癌(RCC)的最佳手术切缘。
我们通过全肾连续切片对 87 例根治性肾切除术后的 T1b RCC 标本进行回顾性评估,同时纳入 92 例 T1a RCC 作为对照。显微镜下检查假包膜(PS)和 PS 外病变的完整性以及多灶性,并检查 PS 外病变与原发性肿瘤之间的最大距离。
T1b 组 PS 不完全(34%[30/87]比 18%[17/92],P=.015)和 PS 外癌病变阳性(39%[34/87]比 25%[23/92],P=.043)的比例明显高于 T1a 组。所有 PS 外病变均位于原发性肿瘤 3.0mm 范围内。T1b 组有 6%(5/87)的患者有多灶性肿瘤,T1a 组有 5%(5/92)的患者有多灶性肿瘤(P=.928)。
这些结果表明,对于 T1b RCC 患者,4mm 可能是 NSS 的最佳手术切缘,因为所有 PS 外病变均位于原发性肿瘤 3mm 范围内。
