Partial nephrectomies are done for [[kidney tumours]].
Partial nephrectomies are done for [[kidney tumours]] (specifically [[renal cell carcinoma]]) and may be done on large tumours (>4 cm) with good outcomes.<ref name=pmid24578747>{{Cite journal  | last1 = El-Ghazaly | first1 = TH. | last2 = Mason | first2 = RJ. | last3 = Rendon | first3 = RA. | title = Oncological outcomes of partial nephrectomy for tumours larger than 4 cm: A systematic review. | journal = Can Urol Assoc J | volume = 8 | issue = 1-2 | pages = 61-6 | month = Jan | year = 2014 | doi = 10.5489/cuaj.1682 | PMID = 24578747 }}</ref>
