Evaluation of organ sparing surgery results in patients with kidney cancer in scheduled operations.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was retrospective analysis of nephron-sparing surgery results of 53 patients, performed due to unilateral small kidney tumors in the period of 1988-1998. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The patients were followed-up according to EORTC directions for 20 to 143 months after the surgery. We have treated 25 women and 28 men of the average age of 53.7. In ten patients partial nephrectomy was performed and the remaining 43 had the tumor enucleated. RESULTS: The average observation time without any recurrences and metastases was 63.8 months, in 5.7% of patients local disease related recurrences and in 1.9% remote recurrences have been found. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Nephron-sparing surgery is a safe alternative to radical surgery in tumors of up to 4 cm in diameter. 2. Prospective 10-year survival time in our patients was 98%, including 92% of patients remaining without recurrence or metastases. 3. Positive prognostic factors are incidental diagnosis of a tumor and low staging and grading of a tumor.

[Evaluation of the usefulness of analysis of beta-glucuronidase levels in patients with superficial cancer and papilloma of the bladder].

Beta-glucuronidase activity in the blood serum, the urine, and tumour tissue has been assayed in patients with superficial bladder neoplasm and papilloma of the bladder prior to and after transurethral electroresection (TUR). Twenty five healthy subjects constituted a control group. It was shown that the activity of beta-glucuronidase may be a valuable test in the differential diagnosis of bladder neoplastic lesions as well as in the assessment of the results of therapy with transurethral electroresection.

[Diagnostic value of beta 2-microglobulin (BMG) in the serum of patients with infiltrative neoplasms of the bladder].

Observations of the behaviour of BMG in the blood serum (S-BMG) of 48 patients with infiltrative neoplasm of the urinary bladder indicated the increase of its concentration in 94% of patients. A correlation has been found between S-BMG and the stage of clinical advancement and histologic grading of the tumor. No statistically significant difference of values of S-BMG has been present in carcinoma and papilloma of the urinary bladder and recurrent neoplasms.

[The dynamics of kidney growth after antireflux operations in children].

Analysing the postsurgical status of patients with reflux nephropathy (RN) operated on for vesicoureteral reflux the authors evaluated the time course of hypotrophic kidney growth and noted a certain though insignificant increment in the renal length in patients with developed reflux nephropathy. The fact that in those with stages III and IV disease no increment in the length of the kidney was found could be regarded as a reason for removal of the kidney.
