Abstract

The management of synchronous metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) continues to be a therapeutic challenge. Surgery is a conceivable therapeutic option in the management of metastatic kidney cancer. The aim of our study is to clarify the interest and place of cytoreductive nephrectomy (NCR) in the treatment of mRCC, in the face of certain African realities where systemic treatment is rare and expensive. It was observational, retrospective, bi-centric study on a series of patients who underwent metastatic nephrectomy regardless of their prognostic group, between 2018 and 2020; monitored and treated jointly at the HIA OBO and at the ICL. Postoperative progression was defined by the appearance of new lesions or by the aggravation of pre-existing metastatic lesions. The primary endpoint of the study was survival without locoregional recurrence (LR), progression-free survival (PFS), the secondary endpoint was overall survival (OS). We collected 14 oligo metastatic patients, ECOG 0-1, the mean age was 50.64 years, with a sex ratio of 1.75. 57% of patients were T3-T4. There was a single metastatic site in 71.5%, 22%, 7.5%, pulmonary, hepatic, adrenal respectively. The patients were distributed according to Heng's prognosis group as follows: 64% patients with good, 22% patients with intermediate, 14% patients with poor prognosis. At 3 years, there was no LR, PFS was 78.57% and OS was 85.71%. 3 patients had received adjuvant treatment with sunitinib. And 5 patients, or 36%, had complete remission (CR). CRN remains a treatment option for metastatic kidney cancer, alone or associated with systemic treatment, in patients in good general condition. This CRN sometimes remains the only therapeutic option available in the absence of adjuvant treatment in our settings, even in the event of a poor prognosis in operable patients.
