RIOS GONZALEZ, Emilio  y  MARTINEZ-PINEIRO LORENZO, Luís. Current role of lymphadenectomy and adrenalectomy in radical surgery for renal cancer. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2009, vol.33, n.5, pp.562-568. ISSN 0210-4806.

Radical nephrectomy is the only curative treatment for renal cell cancer. Standard treatment includes ipsilateral adrenalectomy and lymph node dissection. In recent years, development of nephron-sparing surgery and early detection of small renal tumors has led to question this approach. The role of lymphadenectomy and adrenalectomy in surgical treatment of renal cancer is reviewed.

Palabras clave : Renal cell cancer; Lymphadenectomy; Adrenalectomy.
