ABSTRACT
Introduction: Metastatic kidney cancer continues to be a therapeutic challenge for urologies and oncologies. With the new systemic therapies, the indication for initial cytoreductive nephrectomy is becoming increasingly controversial. The treatment of the primary tumor at a stage with systemic involvement continues to be a controversial issue.Materials and Methods: By conducting a survey of Latin American hospitals, this publication aims to evaluate the indication for cytoreductive nephrectomy, the preferred surgical technique and the results obtained, estimating regional therapeutic lines. Online survey was made, based on the most important topics of discussion on cytoreductive nephrectomy and metastatic kidney cancer.
Results: A total of 20 centers participated on the survey, al of them affirmatively about the realization of cytoreductive nephrectomy. Most of them also offer systemic treatment. Regarding the surgical technique used, most used minimally invasive techniques.
Discussion: The international evidence about the role of cytoreductive nephrectomy in this context is varied and subject to permanent change. Individualized treatment, multidisciplinary team are fundamental for the approach of these patients.
Conclusions: The subgroup of patients with metastatic kidney cancer is conceptually heterogeneous. Cytoreductive nephrectomy continues to play an important role, sometimes leading role, in the management of selected patients.
