Abstract
With the advent of targeted therapy for the treatment of metastatic renal cancer, the routine use of cytoreductive nephrectomy has been questioned. However, available data suggest that cytoreductive nephrectomy remains an integral part of treatment in properly selected patients. This review details the rationale for the continued use of cytoreductive nephrectomy in acceptable surgical candidates in the era of targeted therapy.Entities:
