Oligoprogressive renal cell carcinoma: What is the role of surgery?

Key Points

To investigate the potential role of surgery in managing oligoprogressive renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Assessment of evidence from oligometastatic contexts for patient selection in RCC.
Evaluation of molecular biomarkers and imaging tracers for surgical planning.
Recommendations for multicentre collaborative studies to advance research.
Current evidence is limited regarding optimal surgical strategies for oligoprogressive RCC.
Establishing consensus on definitions enhances understanding of evolving practices.
Future research is necessary to inform evidence-based surgical management protocols.

Abstract

Limited evidence derived from the oligometastatic context constrains optimal patient selection and timing strategies in oligoprogressive RCC. Following the establishment of consensus over definitions and research gaps, future research integrating molecular biomarkers, novel imaging tracers, and multicentre collaborative studies will be essential to develop evidence-based surgical management protocols for this increasingly common clinical scenario.
