Background: Radical nephrectomy (RN) is a standard treatment of cure for non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (NMRCC). Long-term outcome data are limited for Pakistani population. Our aim was to assess the long-term outcomes of RCC (renal cell carcinoma) treated with curative intent with radical nephrectomy (RN). Objectives: To study the 5 and 10 years of outcomes in patients with NMRCC who underwent radical nephrectomy. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data between February 2006 and December 2016. We included all the adult patients (age â?¥ 18 years) with NMRCC from both genders irrespective of their histologic subtypes who underwent radical nephrectomy (RN) with a curative intent. The data were analyzed for overall survival and recurrence rates at 5 and 10 years using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Multivariate analysis was done using Cox-regression to identify risk factors associated with poor overall outcome in terms of recurrence and mortality. Results: 344 patients with 195 (55.5%) males and 149 (44.2%) females with a mean age of 53.5?±14.1 years were followed for a mean follow-up of 31.1?±26.77 months (range: 3â??132 months), with 46 (13.4%) deaths. 49 (14.2%) cases had disease recurrence with 33 (9.5%) deaths from disease progression. The five-year progression-free survival was 37% (95% CI: 49.04â?? 2.76) with the median time to recurrence was 33 months (95% CI: 27.6â??38.4) and the median overall survival was 103.7 months (95% CI: 95.7â??111.7). The five-year overall survival was 76.1% (95% CI: 75.2â??77) while 10-year survival was 70.8%. There was a significant median survival difference for cases with and without recurrence (log-rank Ï?2: 117.5, p<0.001) T stage, Fuhrmanâ??s grade, and early postoperative recurrence. Conclusion: Radical nephrectomy offers the best survival for non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients with excellent postoperative survival and progression-free profile.
