Overview

Treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has changed dramatically in recent years. Targeted therapy (TT) and, more recently, immunotherapy in the form of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have brought about a dramatic prolongation of the overall survival (OS) of patients. The urologist‘s role in mRCC is associated with cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN), which aims to alleviate symptoms or prolong OS. The oncological benefits of CN have recently been questioned through two prospective randomized studies, CARMENA and SURTIME. The situation is less clear today because all retrospective studies have confirmed the oncological importance of CN in the treatment of TT, but a new systemic treatment for mRCC is being used (ICIs). The main problem remains the correct selection of patients suitable for CN. At the time of TT, it was already clear that CN is not beneficial for all patients with mRCC. This article aims to present individual preoperative factors that could help in the correct selection of CN and discuss the surgical aspects of CN execution.
