VIDEO: New scoring system could provide guidance on nephrectomy
In this video, Farshid Sadeghi, MD, discussed data presented on renal cell carcinoma at American Urological Association Annual Meeting.
Sadeghi, a clinical assistant professor at City of Hope Phoenix, highlighted a study from the University of Wisconsin that attempted to find a new scoring system to decide which patients should be offered cytoreductive nephrectomy.
“The take-home message for me is to use this scoring system in my patients when I’m trying to make a decision in up-front nephrectomy,” Sadeghi said. “The data is validated.”
