End-stage renal disease secondary to renal malignancy: Epidemiologic trends and survival outcomes

The incidence of RM-ESRD is increasing, possibly owing to the increased rate of renal cell carcinoma treatment. Although overall survival for RM-ESRD was worse than either that of nonmalignant surgical loss or other known causes, non-cancer-specific mortality was decreased compared to diabetic causes, likely due to systemic effects by cause of ESRD.
