Abstract
Six patients who underwent bilateral nephrectomy for renal carcinoma were placed on maintenance dialysis; of these, 1 patient had a renal transplant. A 5-year 44% survival of these patients was observed. We feel that radical nephrectomy followed by chronic dialysis is a reasonable alternative and offers a fair prognosis to patients with bilateral renal cancer in which partial nephrectomy is not possible.Entities:
