Partial versus radical nephrectomy for T1b-2N0M0 renal tumors: A propensity score matching study based on the SEER database.

When tumor localization and technical feasibility have been taken into account, similar long-term survival was achieved in overall among two nephrectomy modalities, but patients, who were male, old than 65 years, with T1b stage or clear-cell histologic type, got a better survival after receiving PN compared to RN.
