Surgical management of renal cell carcinoma invading into the liver: radical nephrectomy en bloc with right hepatic lateral sector - 03/09/11
Abstract |
Renal cell carcinoma demonstrates expansive growth and invasion of adjacent structures. Direct liver extension, although uncommon, is a dismal prognostic sign. We propose radical nephrectomy en bloc with right lateral sector (segments 6 and 7) of the liver. The operative procedure was performed in 2 male patients, 61 and 81 years of age, both with renal cell carcinoma and direct hepatic extension. The patients had no evidence of disease at 100 and 57 months after resection. This procedure may help cure selected patients with renal cell carcinoma invading the liver.
