Partial nephrectomy versus radical nephrectomy for clinical localised renal masses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Partial nephrectomy and radical nephrectomy are the relevant surgical therapy options for localised renal cell carcinoma. However, debate regarding the effects of these surgical approaches continues and it is important to identify and summarise high-quality studies to make surgical treatment recommendations.

Objectives

To assess the effects of partial nephrectomy compared with radical nephrectomy for clinically localised renal cell carcinoma.

Search methods

We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, BIOSIS, LILACS, Scopus, two trial registries and abstracts from three major conferences to 24 February 2017, together with reference lists; and contacted selected experts in the field.

Selection criteria

We included a randomised control
