title: [Partial nephrectomy in renal cancer: a new standard?].
abstract: Rising renal cell carcinoma incidence is in relationship with early diagnosis during radiological exams. Radical nephrectomy was the gold standard treatment for 30 years. Partial nephrectomy is nowadays a validated therapeutic option for renal cell carcinoma up to 7 cm with comparable oncological results associated with better life quality and survival. Partial nephrectomy is tricky and laparoscopic approach remains reserved for expert centers.
