title: Aggressive management of bilateral renal cell carcinoma.
abstract: We review 4 cases of bilateral renal cell carcinoma. Treatment included extracorporeal surgery with subsequent autotransplantation in 2 patients and radical nephrectomy combined with contralateral partial nephrectomy in the remaining 2 patients. Absence of recurrence as well as length of patient survival supports this aggressive therapy.
