Résumé

Localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) responds well to surgery.
Patients often question how long they have to be on surveillance
after their surgery. Several follow-up patterns have been described
in the literature. Until 2009, no published established Canadian
guidelines existed to assist Canadian health-care practitioners in
the surveillance of these patients. We present 3 cases of RCC that
recurred 10 years or longer after the initial nephrectomy. These
cases emphasize the need for careful long-term follow-up, as recommended
in the Canadian Urological Association guidelines.
We also discuss the optimism of prolonged disease survival in
the era of novel therapeutic agents that target angiogenesis.
