Evaluation of renal mass:
- Imaging?

- CKD?

A

Get multi-phase cross sectional imaging (enhancing = greater that 20 HU)
Consider MRI if suspicion for IVC thrombus

Q

Partial Nephrectomy:
- When do you prioritize this?
- When do you consider it?
- Surgical considerations?

A

Prioritize PNx: cT1a (when Tx is indicated), cases with solitary kidney, bilateral tumors, familial RCC, multifocal, severe CKD

Consider PNx: young patients, multifocal masses, increased risk for future CKD (HTN, DM, urolithiasis, morbid obesity)

Surgical considerations: minimize warm ischemia time, prioritize negative margins, consider enucleation if familial RCC, multifocal or severe CKD

Q

When is radical nephrectomy preferred over partial nephrectomy?

A

Radical only preferred over partial if:
1. High tumor complexity and pNx would be difficult even in experienced hands
2. No preexisting CKD or proteinuria
3. Normal contralateral kidney and new baseline GFR likely to be >45

Consider radical when oncologic potential is suggested by tumor size, RMB, and/or imaging characteristics

Q

Hand-assisted lap compared to straight lap?

What does this mean for donor nephrectomies?

A

Hand-assisted lap has higher rates of wound complications (infections and hernias)

In setting of donor nephrectomy, warm ischemia time of donor kidney is reduced because specimen can be quickly removed via hand-port. Other outcomes are similar to straight lap.

- If asymptomatic due to biopsy?
- If asymptomatic due to RCC?
- What symptoms do they cause when symptomatic?

  • If asymptomatic due to RCC? Nephrectomy
  • What symptoms do they cause when symptomatic? HTN, hematuria, high output heart failure. Treat with embo, ligation, partial or complete nephrectomy
  • Cirsoid AV fistula? Cirsoid means to resemble a varix. These are too complex for angioembolization. Treatment of choice is nephrectomy.
52
Q

Von Hippel Lindau
- Inheritance pattern?
- Manifestations?
- Gene associated?
- Gene location?
- Leading cause of death in VHL?

A
  • Inheritance pattern? AD
  • Manifestations? Hemangioblastomas of retina, cerebellum, medulla (~70%, get brain/spine MRI when diagnosed), cavernous hemangiomas in skin, mucosa and organs, pancreatic masses. About half will develop multiple bilateral RCCs and other tumors associated with deletion of the tumor suppressor gene VHL on 3p
  • Gene associated? (VHL (tumor suppressor gene))
  • Gene location? Short arm of 3p25
  • Leading cause of death in VHL? Kidney cancer

Ipsilateral cysts should be removed at time of partial nephrectomy (when a solid mass is >3 cm) because they can harbor carcinoma

53
Q

Medication that is FDA approved for treatment of VHL-associated RCC? Mechanism?

A

Belzutifan (HIF-2a inhibitor)

Common side effects include anemia (from reduced epo), and fatugue

When VHL (a TSG) is deleted, causes constitutive expression of HIF (a transcription factor), which activated angiogenic growth factors (like VEGF, EPO)

54
Q

Q

Gene?
Location of gene?

A

Hereditary leiomyomatosis RCC (HLRCC)
FH gene codes for fumarate hydratase (TSG) –> painful leiomyomas (cutaneous, uterine) + papillary RCC –> bad disease, patients may die young –> start annual screening with contrasted MRI at age 8

Surveillance of tumors not recommended, take them out
