UROONCO associate editor Ass. Prof. Riccardo Bertolo interviews Assoc. Prof. Lorenzo Bianchi on his abstract “Comparison of patients with and without tumour pseudocapsule rupture during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy at a high-volume tertiary care referral centre”.
In this interview, Assoc. Prof. Bianchi presents findings of this study. Key insights include incidence rates, lack of traditional predictive factors, and the significant role of histology – particularly papillary tumours. Their discussion covers surgical management, implications for recurrence risk, and follow-up strategies. They also address whether aggressive interventions are necessary and explore potential roles for intensified surveillance and adjuvant therapies in high-risk cases.
