Renal cell carcinoma of the kidney transplant : The French guidelines from CTAFU

Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved..

OBJECTIVE: To propose recommendations for the management of renal cell carcinomas (RCC) of the renal transplant.

METHOD: Following a systematic approach, a review of the literature (Medline) was conducted by the CTAFU to evaluate prevalence, diagnosis and management of RCC arousing in the renal transplant. References were assessed according to a predefined process to propose recommendations with levels of evidence.

RESULTS: Renal cell carcinomas of the renal transplant affect approximately 0.2% of recipients. Mostly asymptomatic, these tumors are mainly diagnosed on a routine imaging of the renal transplant. Predominant pathology is clear cell carcinomas but papillary carcinomas are more frequent than in general population (up to 40-50%). RCC of the renal transplant is often localized, of low stage and low grade. According to tumor characteristics and renal function, preferred treatment is radical (transplantectomy) or nephron sparing through partial nephrectomy (open or minimally invasive approach) or thermoablation after percutaneous biopsy. Although no robust data support a switch of immunosuppressive regimen, some authors suggest to favor the use of mTOR inhibitors. CTAFU does not recommend a mandatory waiting time after transplantectomy for RCC in candidates for a subsequent renal tranplantation when tumor stage<T3 and low ISUP grade.

CONCLUSION: These French recommendations should contribute to improving the oncological and functional prognosis of renal transplant recipients by improving the management of RCC of the renal transplant.
