ObjectivesTumor enucleation (TE) optimizes parenchymal preservation with promising short-term oncologic outcomes compared with standard partial nephrectomy (SPN). However, researches/literatures about long-term oncologic outcomes for TE after minimally invasive surgery are scarce. We aim to analyze long-term oncologic outcomes after laparoscopic and robotic tumor enucleation for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).Patients and MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 146 patients who underwent TE with either laparoscopic or robotic approach for localized RCC in our center. Local recurrence, cancer specific survival (CSS), recurrence free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS) were the main outcomes. Survival curves were generated using a Kaplan-Meier method. Perioperative outcomes and pathological outcomes were also analyzed.ResultsOverall, 98 male and 48 female patients were eligible for the study. The median tumor size was 3.4 cm with a median R.E.N.A.L. score of seven. Warm ischemia was used in 143 patients with a median ischemia time of 20 min and three patients had zero ischemia. Five patients (3.4%) had major complications (> Clavien IIIa) and only two were related to urinary system. The median global glomerular filtration rate (GFR) preserved after surgery was 93%. Pseudocapsule invasion was reported in 50 tumors (34%) and positive surgical margins were found in 3/146 (2.1%) tumors. At a median follow-up of 66 months, local recurrence happened in two patients (1.4%), and systemic recurrence happened in six patients (4.2%). The 5-year CSS, RFS, OS were 95.7, 89.6, and 91.9%, and the 10-year CSS, RFS, OS were 93.8, 89.6, and 90.0%, respectively.ConclusionThis study indicates that tumor enucleation with laparoscopic or robotic approach in experienced hands for the treatment of RCC appears oncologically safe with a median follow-up of more than 5 years. Prospective studies with more patients and longer follow-up will be required to further evaluate oncologic safety after TE.

384 Background: Long-term oncologic outcomes for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are limited. The objective of this study was to assess the long-term oncological efficacy of RFA for treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Methods: Between 1998 and 2008, 311 biopsy-proven RCC were treated with RFA in 274 patients. Exclusion criteria included history of prior RCC or known metastatic RCC at time of RFA (n=92). 26 patients were lost to follow-up prior to their 6-month imaging study. We retrospectively reviewed the long-term oncologic outcomes for 193 patients. Mean follow-up was 4.6 yrs (range 1–12, SD 2.3). Results: Median age was 71 years (IQR: 63 –79 years). Median Charlson Score was 5.46 (IQR: 5–6). Median size of tumor treated was 3 cm (IQR: 2–3.9 cm, range 1–7.1cm) and 64 of these tumors (33%) were endophytic. Tumor breakdown by stage was T1a: n=153 (79%), T1b: n=37 (19%), and T2: n=3 (2%). Initial treatment success rate was 89%. There were 6 local recurrences (3%) in 4 patients with T1b disease and 2 patients with T2 disease with an average time-to-recurrence of 2.9 years (SD 0.7). 95% of patients with T1a RCC were disease free at last follow-up, in comparison to 81% of those with T1b and 33% of those with T2 disease (p=0.008). At last follow-up 178 (92%) patients were disease-free. 16 (8.2%) developed metastatic disease and 4 patients (2%) died of RCC. Mean disease-free survival was 4.3 years (SD 2.4). Conclusions: In patients who are poor surgical candidates, RFA results in durable local control and a low risk of disease recurrence in T1 RCC. Higher stage, however, correlates with a decreased disease free survival and alternate treatments should be considered when counseling these patients.
