We tested the association between other-cause mortality and partial vs. radical nephrectomy in patients with T1a, T1b, and T2 renal cell carcinoma, across all patient ages.
Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2010-2020), patients with localized renal cell carcinoma stages (T1a-T1b-T2, N0, M0), who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy were identified.
