PROGNOSTIC FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH RENAL CELL CARCINOMA

Prognostic factors in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate prognostic factors in patients with RCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression of several biomarkers were measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC), together with 2 analytic factors (thrombocytosis and neutrophilia), in 135 patients with advanced RCC treated with new targeted drugs (NTDs) (n = 67) and/or cytokines (CKs) (n = 68)-with 23 of the ...

Prognostic value of p53 in renal cell carcinoma

Background and Objectives: RCC is one of the most common genitourinary cancers. Accurate prediction of prognosis would be valuable for adjuvant trial design, counseling and effectively scheduling follow up visits. P53 is a tumor suppressor gene that expresses a protein that involved in both cell-cycle ar...

The Prognostic Factors for Patients with pT1a Renal Cell Carcinoma

PURPOSE Although the prognosis of patients with pT1a stage renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is generally good, some of these patients show distant metastasis. In this study, we intended to identify the perioperative and pathologic prognostic factors for patients with pT1a stage RCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 93 patients who were diagnosed with pT1aN0M0 RCC between January 1995 and December 2...

Prognostic factors in renal cell carcinoma

We studied 569 cases of renal cell carcinoma in the file5 of the Department of Pathology of the Nor~vegian Radium Hospital from 1964 to 1974. A nephrectorny had been perfornied in all cases. Clinical information on sex, age, survival time and metastases was traced. The histological slides were examined and turnour growth pattern, cell type, cell shape, nuclear atypia, abnormal nucleoli, nuclear...
