Nephrectomy
Removing a kidney (radical) or just the tumour-bearing part of it (partial).
Partial nephrectomy, usually robotic, is preferred for small renal masses because it preserves kidney function with equal cancer control; radical nephrectomy is for larger or central tumours. Cytoreductive nephrectomy (removing the kidney despite metastases) lost its routine role after CARMENA in the targeted-therapy era but is used selectively after response to immunotherapy. Adjuvant pembrolizumab (KEYNOTE-564) follows resection of high-risk disease.
