2026 Pujiang Urological Oncology Academic Conference丨Nan Liu: Precision Strategies for Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy of Completely Endophytic Renal Tumors—from Preoperative 3D Planning to Intraoperative Localization and Nephron-Sparing Decision-Making
The 2026 Pujiang Urological Oncology Academic Conference was held in Shanghai, bringing together experts from China and abroad to discuss standardized diagnosis and treatment, innovations in surgical techniques, and advances in precision medicine in urological oncology. Completely endophytic renal tumors are particularly challenging because they lack visible landmarks on the renal surface, making intraoperative localization, margin control, and preservation of the collecting system and renal vasculature difficult. Oncology Frontier – UroStream invited Professor Nan Liu of Chongqing University Cancer Hospital for an interview to discuss preoperative assessment, intraoperative localization and tumor resection strategies, and nephron-sparing decision-making for highly complex renal tumors, sharing his clinical experience and perspectives on surgical techniques.
