Abstract
The incidence of kidney cancer is 2–3 % of all malignancies and tends to rise. If the problems of treatment in patients with a renal tumor and a normally functioning contralateral kidney have mainly been solved, how to treat patients with bilateral tumors and a tumor in a solitary functioning kidney continues to be discussed. In particular, the limited decrease in renal function of the remaining kidney in a patient after nephrectomy, whose achievement does not require renal replacement therapy, has not been conclusively defined; what part of a solitary kidney with tumors will be able to maintain a good quality of life in the patient, without doing hemodyalisis, has not been elucidated either.
