Tumor Number- Number of tumors with a cancer diagnosis on pathology resected, cysts and benign masses removed were excluded; Largest Tumor- greatest diameter of resected tumors as measured by pathology; Time from PN- months from date of prior PN on ipsilateral kidney; Cytoreductive procedures- PN performed on patients with metastatic disease; EBL=estimated blood loss; UOP=urine output; Op Time=operation time; No. Units Transfused- packed red blood cell units given during operation; Follow Up Time- months from date of surgery to date of urology or nephrology clinic visit or date of next PN
