Abstract:
:The association between perioperative blood transfusion (PBT) with adverse oncological outcomes have been previously reported in multiple malignancies including RCC. Nevertheless, the importance of transfusion timing is still unclear. The primary purpose of this study is to appraise whether the receipt of intraoperative blood transfusion (BT) differ from postoperative BT in regards to cancer outcomes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients treated with nephrectomy. Data on 1168 patients with RCC, who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy as primary therapy between 1988-2013 were analyzed. PBT was defined as transfusion of allogeneic red blood cells (RBC) during surgery or the postsurgical period. Survival was analyzed and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test. Of 1168 patients, 198 patients (16.9%) received a PBT. Including 117 intraoperative BT and 81 postoperative BT. Only 21 (10.6%) patients required both intraoperative and postoperative BT. On multivariate analyses, receipt of PBT was associated with significantly worse local disease recurrence (HR: 2.4; P = 0.017), metastatic progression (HR: 2.7; P = 0.005), cancer-specific mortality (HR: 3.5; P = 0.002) and all-cause mortality (HR: 2.1; P = 0.005). Nevertheless, postoperative BT was not independently associated with increased risk of local recurrence (p = 0.1), metastatic progression (P = 0.16) or kidney cancer death (P = 0.63), yet did significantly increase the risk of overall mortality (HR: 2.6; P = 0.004). In the current study, intraoperative transfusion of allogeneic RBC is associated with increased risks of cancer recurrence and mortality following nephrectomy.
