title: The role of metastasectomy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
abstract: Although new treatments can prolong progression-free and overall survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the cure rate remains low and surgical resection of the primary tumor and metastases are still the most important treatment options to eliminate RCC or achieve long-term progression-free survival.
