The role and extension of lymphadenectomy during radical nephrectomy for renal cell cancer still remain a matter of debate. From June 1989 to March 1992, 137 consecutive extended lymphadenectomies were performed in patients undergoing radical nephrectomy for renal cell cancer at the Department of Urology of Padua. Ten patients (7.3%) had a pathologically proved nodal involvement. Only 2 patients had a distant nodal involvement in the absence of metastases to hilar nodes. Both patients with microscopic metastases had massive involvement of hilar nodes. Due to short median follow-up no clinical consideration on survival can be drawn.

There is a global variation in the incidence of renal masses with the developed nations having a greater incidence. About 80–90% of renal malignancies are renal cell carcinomas (RCC) which account for 2–4% of all cancers. In Africa and the Middle East, the age-standardized incidence for RCC is 1.8–4.8/100,000 for males and 1.2–2.2/100,000 for females. The management of renal cell cancer is challenging. A multidisciplinary approach is effective for diagnosis, staging, and treatment. Guidelines recommend active surveillance, thermal ablation, partial nephrectomy, radical nephrectomy, cytoreductive nephrectomy and immunotherapy as various modalities for various stages of RCC. However, open radical nephrectomy is most widely adopted as an option for treatment at various stages of the disease in sub-Saharan Africa due to its cost-effectiveness, applicability at various stages, and the reduced cost of follow-up. Nevertheless, most patients in the region present with the disease in the advanced stage and despite surgery the prognosis is poor.
