Abstract
Urologic tumors in renal failure patients occur in two circumstances: 1) the life expectancy of patients with end stage renal failure increases leading to an increased risk of tumor occurence as this population is aging, 2) renal failure can be the consequence of carcinologic surgery (bilateral renal tumors, nephrectomy of a solitary kidney) or of chemotherapy (platinium for instance). These patients raise the difficult question of whether they should be transplanted and when? To answer this question, one must take in account the risk of recurrence or development of undetected metastasis under immunosuppression as well as the current organ shortage. To better evaluate the results of renal transplantation in those patients, a questionnaire was sent to the French Renal Transplantation Institutions. The results of this survey are presented in this paper.
