Panel discussion Need for biopsy? Surgery? Medical treatment?
01/2013 52 months after initial surgery 24 months after metastasectomy Suspected bilateral recurrence Multidisciplinary decision to perform repartial nephrectomy on the right kidney and a percutaneous RFA left 03/2013: partial nephrectomy right kidney for a clear-cell recurrence, Fuhrman grade 2, margin positive!
Panel discussion What to do? Nephrectomy right kidney and RFA left kidney in a previously metastatic patient with high-risk of progression? Bilateral RFA?
Multidisciplinary tumour board What to do? Nephrectomy right kidney and RFA left kidney in a previously metastatic patient with high-risk of progression? Bilateral RFA? bilateral RFA
08/2015 56 months after previous (first) metastasectomy 23 months after RFA for local recurrences 0.8 cm new pulmonary lesion 10/2015: video assisted thoracoscopic metastasectomy (VATS) for a 6 mm clear-cell metastasis
01/2016 gross hematuria after exercise Multifocal contrast enhancing lesions in the rght renal pelvis, ureter and in the bladder at the orifice 02/2016 TUR-B and attempted ureterorenoscopy: clear-cell RCC
Next options? Locoregional recurrence 27 months after RFA for a previous local recurrence but only 5 months after last metastasectomy for distant disease CT chest and abdomen 04/2016: no evidence of further systemic disease. Serum creatinine 108 µmol/l, GFR (MDRD-4) 60 ml/min/1.7 Consider rapid progression and start systemic therapy? Nephroureterectomy for local control and delay of systemic therapy?

Case presentation: bilateral and multifocal renal tumors 1 large hyper vascular hilar tumor in the right kidney RENAL score 11p At least 2 tumors in the left kidney RENAL Score 6 a Serum creatinin: 0.80 mg/dl MDRD GFR: 100 ml/min
Panel discussion Clear cell RCC? Oncocytoma? Papillary RCC? Chromophobe carcinoma? Other?
Panel discussion Role of biopsy? Is it reliable in case of multiple tumors? Will it change surgical strategy? Once surgery is decided, what to do? Double left partial nephrectomy first? Right partial nephrectomy first? Right radical nephrectomy first?
Case presentation: bilateral and multifocal renal tumors In the real life, the patient underwent a left renal biopsy six month earlier Result: Oncocytoma, an expectant follow-up had been advised The tumors have grown and the patient is asking for a second medical opinion Question to the panel: is the previous diagnosis of oncocytoma going to change your surgical management?
bilateral and multifocal renal tumors, practical management We started by left partial nephrectomy There were indeed 5 renal tumors ++ All the tumors were excised with negative margins WIT: 25 minutes No significant post op morbidity Serum creatinine at discharge: 0.95 mg/dl (MDRD GFR: 82 ml/min) Panel discussion; the limits of pre op imaging in case of multiple small renal tumors
bilateral and multifocal renal tumors, histological results left side Tumor 1 Tumor 2 Tumor 3 Tumor 4 Final Histological pathology (Pr N Rioux Leclercq): hybrid tumor (oncocytoma + chromophobe carcinoma) Question to the panel: will it change your mind for right side management?
bilateral and multifocal renal tumors, right side management We decided a partial nephrectomy WIT 30 minutes Estimated Blood loss: 800 ml Non intra operative complications Day 1 Gross haematuria Malaise, tachycardia, Hb: 7 g/dl Peri renal drainage > 400 ml Questions to the panel: Immediate re operation for surgical haemostasis? Immediate total nephrectomy? CT +- embolization? Blood transfusion and expectant management?
