Core Tip

Core tip: The evidence on the role of surgery in management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastatic disease to the liver and pancreas remains limited due to the rare nature of the disease. We have treated 13 patients in our institution, achieving median overall survival of 94 mo (range: 23-94) after liver and 98 mo (range: 3-98) after pancreatic resection. Disease-free survival was 10 mo (range: 3-55) after liver and 28 mo (range: 3-53) after pancreatic resection. Long term survival can be achieved with resection of hepatic and pancreatic RCC metastases in selected cases and should be considered in patients with oligometastatic disease.
