Abstract
BACKGROUND: Kidney cancer is a common pathologic condition, which ranks the 3rd place among urologic cancers. In 4–10% of patients, while growing it metastasizes upward the venous vessels up to the thoracic vena cava and right atrium. Selection of the optimal tactics for surgical treatment of such patients still remains a complex and unsolved task.
AIM: To assess the surgical treatment findings for the patients suffered from kidney cancer with tumor invasion in the renal and inferior vena cava.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 115 patients with renal cell carcinoma complicated by tumor invasion into renal and inferior vena cava have been operated in North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov from 2003 to 2023. They were 76 (66.1%) men and 39 (33.9%) women, their mean age was 67.0 ± 4.1. Stage T3a covered 53 (46.1%), T3b — 33 (28.7%) and T3c 29 (25.2%) patients. Metastatic lesion of one lymph node was observed in 21 (18.3%) and of multiple nodes in 6 (5.2%) patients. Distant metastases were found in 26 (22.6%) patients: in the lungs in 9.6% and in the adrenal glands in 5.2%. All patients were treated with radical nephrectomy, removing blood trombi from the inferior vena cava system. Eight (7.0%) of them, received the treatment by the method developed in the clinic, which consists in preliminary endovascular extraction of the cranial trombus part. Another 3 (2.6%) patients were treated using cardiopulmonary bypass machine.
RESULTS: Early postoperative complications developed in 36 (31.4%) patients. The most common and severe of them were pulmonary embolism (4.4%) and acute cardiovascular insufficiency (10.4%). These complications appeared the causes of death of 4 patients. The mortality rate was 3.5%. The three year survival rate in the T3a group was 70.6%, T3b group — 66.0% and T3c group — 50.6% (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Nephrectomy with vena cava thrombectomy is a radical surgical treatment. Its complexity increases as the tumor thrombus spreads further through the venous system and in some cases requires an interdisciplinary approach.
