[Bilateral radical nephrectomy and kidney transplantation as treatment for asynchronous bilateral renal cell carcinoma. A case report].
Bilateral renal cancer may require bilateral nephrectomy and chronic dialysis. However, an available option is kidney transplantation. Controversy exists about an adequate period of time to perform kidney transplantation and the role of immunotherapy on the risk of malignant recurrence. We report a case of bilateral asynchronous renal cell carcinoma treated with bilateral radical nephrectomy and kidney transplantation six years after without evidence of malignant disease.
