DAVILA-RUIZ, Ediel O. et al. Synchronous bilateral kidney cancer. Case report and review of literature. Gac. mex. oncol. [online]. 2021, vol.20, suppl.1, pp.11-16.  Epub Aug 22, 2022. ISSN 2565-005X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/j.gamo.20000062.

The 2018 worldwide incidence and mortality of kidney cancer in both sexes was 4.5 and 1.8. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) comprises 85% of all kidney cancer (70% clear cell tumors lineage), however, bilateral RCC has been reported in 1.8 to 11%. Partial nephrectomy increases the preservation of kidney function, has a lower incidence rate of chronic kidney disease, morbidity, and mortality due to cardiovascular risk. We present the case of a 57-year-old male with clear cell synchronous bilateral renal cancer. Left radical nephrectomy and right partial nephrectomy were performed, with suitable clinical results and 5-year disease-free follow-up.

Keywords : Renal cell cancer; Bilateral kidney tumor; Synchronous kidney cancer; Conservative surgery; Partial nephrectomy.
