Abstract
Background and objective Surgery is the primary therapy that crucially affects the survival of patients with kidney cancer (KC). However, pertinent surgical decision criteria for individuals with stage T2-3 KC are lacking. This study aimed to display the practical choices and evolving trends of surgical procedures and elucidate their implied value. Methods Through the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) dataset, the levels and evolving trends of different surgical methods were examined to determine cancer-specific risk of death (CSRD). Additionally, stratification analysis and survival rate analysis were performed to explore the effectiveness of partial nephrectomy (PN). Results In this study, 9.27% of patients opted for PN. Interestingly, an upward trend was observed in its decision, with an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of 7.0 (95% CI: 4.8-9.3, P < 0.05). Patients who underwent PN and were in a relatively less severe condition exhibited more favorable CSRD levels (0.17-0.36 vs. 0.50-0.67) and an improvement trend compared with those who underwent radical nephrectomy (RN) (AAPC: -1.9 vs. -0.8). Further analysis showed that the levels of CSRD and survival rates for patients opting for different surgical methods followed a similar pattern. Conclusions This study showed that RN was still the most common surgical method. Patients with stage T2-3 KC had an increasing preference for PN and exhibited more favorable cancer-related survival outcomes, which underscores the need for further investigation and validation.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective Cohort Study. OBJECTIVE Octogenarians living with spinal metastases are a challenging population to treat. Our objective was to identify the rate, types, management, and predictors of complications and survival in octogenarians following surgery for spinal metastases. METHODS A retrospective review of a prospectively collected cohort of patients aged 80 years or older who underwent surgery for metastatic spinal tumor treatment between 2008 and 2019 were included. Demographic, intraoperative, complications, and postoperative follow-up data was collected. Cox proportional hazards regression and logistic regression were used to associate variables with overall survival and postoperative complications, respectively. RESULTS 78 patients (mean 83.6 years) met inclusion criteria. Average operative time and blood loss were 157 minutes and 615 mL, respectively. The median length of stay was 7 days. The overall complication rate was 31% (N = 24), with 21% considered major and 7% considered life-threatening or fatal. Blood loss was significantly associated with postoperative complications (OR = 1.002; P = 0.02) and mortality (HR = 1.0007; P = 0.04). Significant associations of increased risk of death were also noted with surgeries with decompression, and cervical/cervicothoracic index level of disease. For deceased patients, median time to death was 4.5 months. For living patients, median follow-up was 14.5 months. The Kaplan-Meier based median overall survival for the cohort was 11.6 months (95% CI: 6.2-19.1). CONCLUSIONS In octogenarians undergoing surgery with instrumentation for spinal metastases, the median overall survival is 11.6 months. There is an increased complication rate, but only 7% are life-threatening or fatal. Patients are at increased risk for complications and mortality particularly when performing decompression with stabilization, with increasing intraoperative blood loss, and with cervical/cervicothoracic tumors.

Abstract
Simple Summary There are an increasing number of older people living with kidney cancer and/or cancer and kidney disease worldwide, sparking a wider discussion on the impact of frailty and the clinical significance of conducting frailty assessments for this patient population. We provide an update on the current evidence related to frailty assessment in onconephrology and identify areas where further research efforts are anticipated to address knowledge gaps within this topic. Abstract Onconephrology has emerged as a novel sub-specialty of nephrology dedicated to the intersection between the kidney and cancer. This intersection is broad and includes a number of important areas of focus, including concurrent chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cancer, acute kidney complications of cancer, and cancer-treatment-induced nephrotoxicity. The importance of onconephrology is even more evident when considering the global growth in the population of older adults, many of whom are living with some degree of frailty. Furthermore, a considerable proportion of older adults have CKD (some of whom eventually progress to kidney failure) and are at high risk of developing solid tumour and hematologic malignancies. Specific to kidney disease, the association between frailty status and kidney disease has been explored in depth, and tools to capture frailty can be used to guide the management and prognostication of older adults living with kidney failure. Whilst there is emerging data regarding the assessment and impact of frailty in onconephrology, there remains a relative paucity of knowledge within this topic. In this article, we evaluate the definition and operationalization of frailty and discuss the significance of frailty within onconephrology. We review evidence on current approaches to assessing frailty in onconephrology and discuss potential developments and future directions regarding the utilization of frailty in this patient population. A greater awareness of the intersections and interactions between frailty and onconephrology and further efforts to integrate frailty assessment in onconephrology to optimize the delivery of realistic and goal-directed management strategies for patients is needed.

Abstract
Introduction Theaim of this study was to assess preoperative factors associated with benign histology in patients undergoing surgical removal of a renal mass and to analyze outcomes of robotic partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical nephrectomy (RN) for these masses. Material and methods Overall, 2,944 cases (543 benign and 2,401 malignant) who underwent robotic PN and RN between 2003–2018 at 10 institutions worldwide were included. The assessment of the predictors of benign histology was made at the final surgical pathology report. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U, Pearson’s χ2, and logistic regression analysis were used. Results Patients in the benign group were mostly female (61 vs. 33%; p <0.001), with lower body mass index (BMI) (26.0 vs. 27.1 kg/m2; p <0.001). The benign group presented smaller tumor size (2.8 vs. 3.5 cm; p <0.001), R.E.N.A.L. score (6.0 vs. 7.0; p <0.001). There was a lower rate of hilar (11 vs.18%; p = 0.001), cT≥3 (1 vs. 4.5%; p <0.001) tumors in the benign group. There was a statistically significant higher rate of PN in the benign group (97 vs. 86%; p <0.001) as well as a statistically significant lower 30-day re-admission rate (2 vs. 5%; p = 0.081). Multivariable analysis showed male gender (OR: 0.52; p <0.001), BMI (OR: 0.95; p <0.001), and cT3a (OR: 0.22; p = 0.005) to be inversely associated to benign histology. Conclusions In 18% of cases, a benign histologic type was found. Only 3% of these tumors were treated with RN. Female gender, lower BMI, and higher T staging showed to be independent predictors of benign histology.

Abstract
Thermal ablation of small renal masses is increasingly accepted as an alternative to partial nephrectomy, particularly in patients with multiple comorbidities. Many professional societies support this alternate treatment with updated guidelines. Before performing thermal ablation, it is important to stratify risk and assess technical feasibility by evaluating tumor imaging features such as size, location, and centrality. Routine postablation imaging with CT or MRI is necessary for assessment of residual or recurrent tumor, evidence of complications, or new renal masses outside the ablation zone. The normal spectrum and evolution of findings at CT and MRI include a halo appearance of the ablation zone, ablation zone contraction, and ablation zone calcifications. Tumor recurrence frequently manifests at CT or MRI as new nodular enhancement at the periphery of an expanding ablation zone, although it is normal for the ablation zone to enlarge within the first few months. Recognizing early tumor recurrence is important, as small renal masses are often easily treated with repeat ablations. Potential complications of thermal ablation include vascular injury, urine leak, ureteral stricture, nerve injury, and bowel perforation. The risk of these complications may be related to tumor size and location.©RSNA, 2019.
