Nephron sparing surgery Radical nephrectomy has been standard Laparoscopic or /robotic approach, less morbidity Enucleation 89% 5yr survival Partial nephrectomy 92% 5yr survival Similar to radical surgery figures Ideal for polar tumors <4cm Unsuitable for central tumors, drainage system Method of choice for low grade malignancies Avoids muscle splitting surgery, morbidity, scar (Zini et al, Montreal, Cancer 2009;115:1465) 25 Laparoscopic nephrectomy www.london-urology.co.uk 27 9

Follow up CT indicates need for re treatment 31 Cryo ablation of Renal Tumors Small, peripheral or exophytic tumors suitable Laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach Freeze to minus 40degrees C Double freeze thaw technique used.

Conclusion: Part I Renal tumors are more frequent More often asymptomatic, small and low grade Imaging is stunning in its capability Management philosophy is revolutionary Tissue typing on smaller samples is needed FNA (and FNB) are ideally suited to this The patient must get optimal care Multidisciplinary approach is essential WE ARE ALL ON A LEARNING CURVE 70 Malignant Renal Tumors Renal cell carcinoma is by far the most common renal malignancy Includes conventional (clear cell), papillary, and chromophobe types Risk factors include smoking and obesity Inherited cancer syndrome VHL The mean age of manifestation of RCC in VHL is 37 years, as compared with 61 years for sporadic RCC Conventional (clear cell) RCC Comprises 75% to 80% of all RCCs Average size is 7 cm, but small tumors are being detected with increasing frequencies Necrosis, hemorrhage, cystic degeneration, and calcification are common Results in "heterogeneous" appearance on imaging studies Cytogenetics del 3p (site of VHL gene) 24
Conventional (clear cell) RCC Cytologic features Lots of hemorrhage Occasionally, this is the only finding on FNA specimens Large cohesive cell groups Smears can be highly cellular composed of groups and individual tumor cells Abundant wispy cytoplasm with ill defined edges Cytoplasmic vacuoles Often peripherally placed, while the more granular cytoplasm is central Conventional (clear cell) RCC Cytologic features continued Cells have large, round, eccentrically placed nuclei Cells often have a "plasmacytoid" appearance Nucleoli vary in sized, depending on Fuhrman grade But can be less variable than other renal tumors Pink, strand like fibrillary material is highly characteristic on Romanowsky stains Transgressing vessels can be seen in about 1/2 of the cases Conventional (clear cell) RCC 25

Conventional (clear cell) RCC Immunocytochemistry CAM5.2 AE1/AE3 EMA Vimentin CAIX CD10 PAX2 PAX8 Positive HMWCK CK7 CK20 CEA Negative HMWCK CK5/6, 34BE12 Papillary Renal Cell CA Represents between 7% and 15% of all renal cell carcinomas Can be multifocal Tumors as large at 23 cm are possible Large tumors tend to be cystic and necrotic Contrast CTs tend to be hypovascular, as compared to Conventional RCC which is hypervascular Papillary Renal Cell CA Low grade or low stage tumors have an excellent prognosis Often small and peripheral Tend to be amenable to partial nephrectomy RCC considered papillary if >50% papillae Papillae can be packed very close, mimicking a solid growth pattern Cytogenetics Trisomies 7, 16, & 17 29
Papillary Renal Cell CA Cytologic features Type 1 Papillae with true fibrovascular cores, spherules, and tubules Small sized to medium sized cuboidal cells Uniform nuclei Scant to moderate cytoplasm Abundant intracytoplasmic hemosiderin (characteristic) Foamy macrophages Fibrovascular cores can be distended by macrophages Papillary Renal Cell CA Cytologic features Type 2 Large cells Large nuclei with prominent (grade 3) nucleoli Abundant granular cytoplasm Papillary Renal Cell CA 30

Papillary Renal Cell CA Differential Diagnosis Distal tubular cells Glomeruli Metanephric adenoma Conventional clear cell RCC For type 2 papillary RCC Use of cytogenetics can be very helpful Papillary Renal Cell CA Immunocytochemistry Stain AE1/AE3 Positive CAM5.2 Positive CK7 Positive Vimentin Positive HMWCK Negative AMACR Positive CAIX +/ EMA Positive Result Sarcomatoid Renal Cell CA Sarcomatoid areas are present in 1% to 6% of RCCs Most found in association with clear cell RCC, but sarcomatous transformation of chromophobe, collecting duct, and papillary RCCs occur High grade tumor with poor prognosis (many unresectable at presentation) 33
Sarcomatoid Renal Cell CA Histology/Cytology High grade spindle cell neoplasm with or without epithelioid features Unlikely to be definitive on cytologic specimens alone Differential diagnosis includes sarcoma and angiomyolipoma Need Keratin or EMA for RCC diagnosis Sarcomatoid Renal Cell CA Sarcomatoid Renal Cell CA 34
Sarcomatoid Renal Cell CA Sarcomatoid Renal Cell CA Chromophobe Renal Cell CA Comprises 3% to 5% of all RCCs Patients have an excellent prognosis unless tumor is large or multifocal Must be distinguished from oncocytoma Cytogenetics Loss of entire chromosomes Most commonly 1, 2, 6, 10, 13, 17, & 21 35
Chromophobe Renal Cell CA Cytologic features Trabecular arrangement Koilocytoid cells Abundant cytoplasm Well defined cell borders Bi nucleation common Variation in nuclear size Hyperchromatic nuclei without nucleoli Aspirates are highly cellular and the cells are less cohesive than conventional (clear cell) RCC Chromophobe Renal Cell CA Chromophobe Renal Cell CA 36
Chromophobe Renal Cell CA Chromophobe Renal Cell CA Chromophobe Renal Cell CA 37
Chromophobe Renal Cell CA Chromophobe Renal Cell CA Chromophobe Renal Cell CA Differential diagnosis Oncocytoma Chromophobe have more nuclear variation Oncocytomas are arranged in rounded nests (difficult to discern on cytology samples) May need to diagnose Oncocytic Neoplasm Conventional (clear cell) renal cell carcinoma Chromophobe RCCs have more variation in cell and nuclear size Darker chromatin, without nucleoli 38

Collecting Duct Carcinoma (Bellini Tumor) Collecting Duct Carcinoma (Bellini Tumor) Urothelial Carcinoma Arising from the renal pelvis Accounts for 5% to 10% of all renal tumors Histologically and clinically similar to urothelial carcinoma from the urinary bladder Strong association with tobacco and use of analgesics (phenacetin) Distinction from RCC is important as resection for urothelial CA will include the ureter 42
