Abstract
Partial nephrectomy is associated with durable cancer control in patients with renal tumors 7 cm or less, of which most represent renal cell carcinoma. Tumor size represents a valuable prognostic index in the absence of pathological evaluation of the entire tumor specimen. These results may be used for comparison against outcomes following ablative and observational therapy, for which tumor size is the only prognostic index available.
