Introduction & Objectives: To compare oncological results of elective nephronsparing surgery (NSS) and radical nephrectomy (RN) in patients with pT1 renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Materials & Methods: The Surveillance And Treatment Update Renal Neoplasms (SATURN) study collected the data of 5463 patients with RCC treated at 16 Italian institutions from 1995 to 2007. In the present analysis, we evaluated 3320 patients with pT1a/pT1b pN0/Nx M0 who underwent RN or elective NSS. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival functions, and differences were assessed with the log-rank statistic. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models addressed cancer-specific mortality.
