LONG-TERM PROGNOSIS OF INCIDENTAL RENAL CELL CARCINOMA

Long-term Safety of Sunitinib in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.

BACKGROUND Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients receiving first-line sunitinib typically survive >2 yr, with chronic treatment sometimes extending to ≥6 yr. OBJECTIVE To analyze long-term safety with sunitinib in mRCC patients. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Data were pooled from 5739 patients in nine trials, comprising seven phase II studies, a phase III study, and an expande...

Incidental Eosinophilic Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma in Renal Allograft

The incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in renal allograft in transplant recipients is 0.22-0.25%. De novo clear cell, papillary, and chromophobe RCCs and RCCs with sarcomatoid differentiation originating in renal allograft have been reported. Routine surveillance for graft tumours is not routinely practiced and these tumours are commonly asymptomatic and incidentally discovered. We describ...

Incidental detection of renal cell carcinoma is an independent prognostic marker: results of a long-term, whole population study.

PURPOSE The true effect of incidental detection on the survival of patients with renal cell carcinoma has been debated. We used centralized databases in Iceland to study prognostic factors of survival, focusing on the effect of incidental detection. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included all living patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma in Iceland from 1971 to 2005. Hos...

A coronal view of an abdomen computed tomography with enhancement demonstrates a 7-cm renal mass with a lobulated contour and central necrosis in the mid pole of the right kidney (A). The tumor shows a solid, nesting, and tubular pattern of growth and the polygonal tumor cells have ...
