Abstract
PURPOSE It is unknown to what extent 10-year overall survival of radical nephrectomy treated intermediate/high-risk non-metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma patients differs from age- and sex-matched population-based controls, especially when race/ethnicity is considered (Caucasian vs. African American vs. Hispanic vs. Asian/Pacific Islander). METHODS We relied on the SEER database (2004-2018) to identify newly diagnosed radical nephrectomy treated intermediate/high risk non-metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma patients. For each case, we simulated an age- and sex-matched control relying on Social Security Administration Life Tables with 10 years of follow-up. We compared overall survival between renal carcinoma cases and population-based controls. Multivariable competing risks regression models tested for predictors of cancer-specific mortality versus other-cause mortality. RESULTS Of 6877 radical nephrectomy treated intermediate/high risk non-metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma patients, 5050 (73%) were Caucasian versus 433 (6%) African American versus 1002 (15%) Hispanic versus 392 (6%) Asian/Pacific Islanders. At 10 years, overall survival difference between radical nephrectomy treated intermediate/high risk non-metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma patients versus population-based controls was greatest in African Americans (51% vs. 81%, Δ = 30%), followed by Hispanics (54% vs. 80%, Δ = 26%), Asian/Pacific Islanders (56% vs. 80%, Δ = 24%) and Caucasians (52% vs. 74%, Δ = 22%). In competing risks regression, only African Americans exhibited significantly higher other cause mortality (hazard ratio = 1.3; 95% confidence interval = 1.1 - 1.6; p = 0.01) than others. CONCLUSION Relative to Life Tables' derived sex- and age-matched controls, radical nephrectomy treated intermediate/high-risk non-metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma patients exhibit worse overall survival, with worst overall survival recorded in African Americans of all race/ethnicity groups.

Prognostic Impact and Genomic Backgrounds of Renal Parenchymal Infiltration or Micronodular Spread in Nonmetastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma. Mod Pathol 2024; 37:100590. [PMID: 39142537 DOI: 10.1016/j.modpat.2024.100590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024]
Abstract
A subset of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs) exhibits various growth patterns that infiltrate the normal renal parenchyma; however, our understanding of its association with cancer aggressiveness is incomplete. Here, we show that the morphology of the tumor interface with normal renal parenchyma is robustly associated with cancer recurrence after surgery, even when compared with the TNM staging system or the World Health Organization/International Society of Urological Pathology (WHO/ISUP) nuclear grade in nonmetastatic ccRCC. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides of whole tissue sections from surgical specimens were analyzed using a cohort of 331 patients with nonmetastatic ccRCC treated with radical nephrectomy. The patients were classified into 10 subgroups based on our classification algorithms for assessing the tumor interface with normal renal parenchyma. Among the 10 subgroups, 4 subgroups consisting of 40 patients (12%) were identified to have aggressive forms of nonmetastatic ccRCC associated with poor prognosis and unified as renal parenchymal infiltration or micronodular spread (RPI/MNS) phenotypes. Multivariable analyses showed that RPI/MNS phenotypes were robustly associated with shorter disease-free survival, independently of existing pathological factors including the TNM staging system and WHO/ISUP nuclear grade. The hazard ratio was highest for RPI/MNS (4.62), followed by WHO/ISUP grades 3 to 4 (2.11) and ≥pT3a stage (2.05). In addition, we conducted genomic analyses using next-generation sequencing of infiltrative lesions in 18 patients with RPI/MNS and tumor lesions in 33 patients without RPI/MNS. Results showed that alterations in SETD2 and TSC1 might be associated with RPI/MNS phenotypes, whereas alterations in PBRM1 might be associated with non-RPI/MNS phenotypes. These data suggest that RPI/MNS may be associated with aggressive genomic backgrounds of ccRCC, although more comprehensive analyses with a larger sample size are required. Future studies may further elucidate the clinical implications of RPI/MNS, particularly for deciding the indication of adjuvant treatment after nephrectomy.

Scoring system for prediction of overall survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma T3aN0M0. BJUI COMPASS 2024; 5:289-296. [PMID: 38371207 PMCID: PMC10869657 DOI: 10.1002/bco2.309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective We aim to create a new score to predict postoperative overall survival in patients with nonmetastatic T3aN0 renal cell carcinoma. Methods We reviewed the clinical data of adult patients who underwent radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma between December 2007 and January 2022 in a single tertiary oncological institution. Clinical characteristics, clinical-pathological staging and histopathological characteristics were analysed. Survival analyses were determined using the Kaplan-Meier curve. A nomogram was established using Cox proportional hazard regression to identify the prognostic factors affecting the overall survival. The area under the curve, calibration curves and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate prognostic efficacy. Results We analyzed 362 patients classified as pT3aN0M0 stage with a median follow-up of 40 months. According to Cox univariate and multivariate analyses, weight loss greater than 5% in 6 months before surgery, stage V chronic kidney disease after radical nephrectomy, sarcomatoid pattern, and coagulative tumor necrosis were identified as predictors of overall survival. We developed a score and performed internal and external validation. The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve, area under the curve value and calibration curve analysis showed good prediction ability of the score. The nomogram can effectively predict and stratify overall survival after radical nephrectomy in patients with pT3aN0M0 renal cell carcinoma. Conclusion Patients with pT3aN0MO renal cell carcinoma exhibited different characteristics, and those with unfavourable characteristics deserve greater attention during follow-up. This nomogram provides an accurate prediction of overall survival after radical nephrectomy.

Patient and tumor characteristics of histological subtypes of renal cell carcinoma and its risk of upstaging to ≥pT3. Urol Oncol 2023; 41:487.e7-487.e13. [PMID: 37758628 DOI: 10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.09.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore how histological subtypes impact upstaging to nonorgan confined renal cell carcinoma (≥pT3 RCC) in patients treated with partial/radical nephrectomy for cT1-2 RCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We relied on an institutional tertiary-care database to identify RCC patients treated with partial/radical nephrectomy between January 2002 and December 2021. Patients were stratified according to histological subtype of RCC. Upstaging was defined as any cT1-2 tumor classified as ≥pT3 at final pathology. Uni- and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted to predict upstaging. RESULTS Of overall 1,020 surgically treated RCC patients, 743 harbored clear-cell (72.8%) vs. 193 (18.9%) papillary vs. 49 (4.8%) chromophobe vs. each 4 (0.4%) collecting duct and sarcomatoid vs. 27 (2.6%) other/mixed pathology of RCC. Median tumor size ranged from 3.0 cm (mixed RCC) to 7.7 cm (sarcomatoid RCC). In total, upstaging rate to ≥pT3 was 22% and ranged from 6.1% (chromophobe RCC) to 75% (collecting duct RCC). In univariable logistic regression models, chromophobe and papillary histological subtypes were significantly associated with lower upstaging of all cT1-2 RCC tumors. After controlling for patient and tumor characteristics in multivariable logistic regression models, papillary RCC independently lowers the risk of upstaging, even in sensitivity analyses for cT1 RCC only. CONCLUSION Important differences between histological subtypes of RCC exist regarding characteristics such as stage and tumor size at presentation, as well as upstaging to ≥pT3 at final pathology. Specifically, papillary RCC is significantly associated with lower chance of upstaging even after controlling for confounding parameters. The study is limited by missing central pathological/radiographic review and lack of survival analyses.

Comparison of peri- and intraoperative outcomes of open vs robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma: a propensity-matched analysis. World J Surg Oncol 2023; 21:189. [PMID: 37349748 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-023-03061-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial nephrectomy (PN) is the gold standard surgical treatment for resectable renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumors. However, the decision whether a robotic (RAPN) or open PN (OPN) approach is chosen is often based on the surgeon's individual experience and preference. To overcome the inherent selection bias when comparing peri- and postoperative outcomes of RAPN vs. OPN, a strict statistical methodology is needed. MATERIALS AND METHODS We relied on an institutional tertiary-care database to identify RCC patients treated with RAPN and OPN between January 2003 and January 2021. Study endpoints were estimated blood loss (EBL), length of stay (LOS), rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications, and trifecta. In the first step of analyses, descriptive statistics and multivariable regression models (MVA) were applied. In the second step of analyses, to validate initial findings, MVA were applied after 2:1 propensity-score matching (PSM). RESULTS Of 615 RCC patients, 481 (78%) underwent OPN vs 134 (22%) RAPN. RAPN patients were younger and presented with a smaller tumor diameter and lower RENAL-Score sum, respectively. Median EBL was comparable, whereas LOS was shorter in RAPN vs. OPN. Both intraoperative (27 vs 6%) and Clavien-Dindo > 2 complications (11 vs 3%) were higher in OPN (both < 0.05), whereas achievement of trifecta was higher in RAPN (65 vs 54%; p = 0.028). In MVA, RAPN was a significant predictor for shorter LOS, lower rates of intraoperative and postoperative complications as well as higher trifecta rates. After 2:1 PSM with subsequent MVA, RAPN remained a statistical and clinical predictor for lower rates of intraoperative and postoperative complications and higher rates of trifecta achievement but not LOS. CONCLUSIONS Differences in baseline and outcome characteristics exist between RAPN vs. OPN, probably due to selection bias. However, after applying two sets of statistical analyses, RAPN seems to be associated with more favorable outcomes regarding complications and trifecta rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, five trials testing the effect of adjuvant systemic therapy in surgically treated non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma included patients with non-clear cell histology. We tested the effect of papillary vs. chromophobe histological subtype, stage, and grade on 10-year cancer-specific survival, in patients eligible for ≥1 such trial. METHODS We identified patients meeting ASSURE, SORCE, EVEREST, PROSPER, or RAMPART trial inclusion criteria in the SEER (2000-2018) database. Kaplan-Meier analyses estimated 10-year survival rates and multivariable Cox regression models tested for the independent predictor status of histological subtype, stage, and grade. RESULTS We identified 5465 (68%) papillary and 2562 (32%) chromophobe renal cell carcinoma patients. Cancer-specific survival rates at 10 years were 77% in papillary vs. 90% in chromophobe. In multivariable Cox regression models applied to papillary patients, cancer-specific mortality independent predictor status was reached for T3G3-4 (HR 2.9), T4Gany (HR 3.4), TanyN1G1-2 (HR 3.1), and TanyN1G3-4 (HR 8.0, P<0.001), relative to T1/2Gany. In multivariable Cox regression models applied to chromophobe patients, mortality independent predictor status was reached for T3G3-4 (HR 3.6), T4Gany (HR 14.0), TanyN1G1-2 (HR 5.7), and TanyN1G3-4 (HR 15.0, P<0.001), relative to T1/2Gany. CONCLUSIONS In surgically treated non-metastatic intermediate/high-risk renal cell carcinoma patients, papillary histologic subtype exhibited worse cancer-specific survival than chromophobe histologic subtype. Although stage and grade represented independent predictors in both histological subtype groups, the magnitude of their effect was invariably worse in chromophobe than in papillary patients. In consequence, papillary and chromophobe patients should be considered separate entities instead of being combined under the non-clear cell designation.

An external validation of the nocera nomogram: Predicting non-organ confined stage of ≥pT3 in cT1 clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Front Oncol 2022; 12:1019057. [PMID: 36300101 PMCID: PMC9589884 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.1019057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Only one previously published study by Nocera et al. addressed the risk of upstaging to ≥pT3 in cT1 clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) by using characteristics of the R.E.N.A.L and PADUA score (age, tumor size, rim location, exophytic rate, polar involvement) developing an accurate nomogram. However, this nomogram has never been externally validated yet. Material and methods The study cohort consisted of 288 patients with cT1a-b ccRCC, diagnosed between 2008-2021 at the University Hospital Frankfurt, Germany. Analyses addressed clinical, tumor and radiographic characteristics. The external validation of the nomogram relied on accuracy calculations derived from the area under the curve of the receiver operator characteristic analysis. Results Overall, 11.8% (n=34) patients harbored ≥pT3 ccRCC. Median radiographic tumor size (3.6 vs. 5.3cm), R.E.N.A.L. (8 vs. 9 points) and PADUA score (9 vs. 11 points), as well as proportions of renal sinus involvement (82.4% vs. 51.6%), renal hilus involvement (44.1 vs. 13.0%), and medial rim location significantly differed between the pT1-2 and ≥pT3 group (all p ≤ 0.01). In subgroup analyses of small renal mass ccRCC patients (<4cm, cT1a), only 3.8% (n=6) patients had ≥pT3 pathology. Upstaged patients were significantly older and more frequently had endophytic tumor than pT1-2 counterparts (p<0.05). The external validation of the Nocera nomogram showed a good accuracy of 76.6%. Using the suggested cut-off of 21%, 26.5% of patients exhibited ≥pT3 ccRCC. Conversely, within patients below cut-off, 5.9% patients exhibited ≥pT3 ccRCC. Conclusion We reported the first external validation of the nomogram addressing the risk of ≥pT3 in cT1 ccRCC patients, demonstrating a good accuracy, with a low false-negative rate. Therefore, the nomogram can accurately be used for patients’ counselling and treatment decision making.

Immunotherapy in advanced kidney cancer: an alternative meta-analytic method using reconstructed survival data in case of proportional hazard assumption violation. Front Oncol 2022; 12:955894. [PMID: 36132135 PMCID: PMC9483094 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.955894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background With the advent of immuno-oncology compounds in randomized trials, we observe more and more survival curves crossing. From a statistical standpoint this corresponds to violation of the proportional hazard assumption. When this occurs, the hazard ratio from the Cox regression is not reliable as an estimate. Herein, we aimed to identify the most appropriate IO-based therapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma applying an alternative method to overcome the issue of hazard assumption violation for meta-analyses. Methods Pubmed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched. Only phase III randomized clinical trials on IO-IO (nivo-ipi) or IO-TKI combinations were included. An algorithm to obtain survival data from published Kaplan-Meier curves was used to reconstruct data on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and duration of response (DoR). Differences in restricted mean survival time (RMST) were used for comparisons. Results individual survival data from 4,206 patients from five trials were reconciled. Patients who received nivo-ipi or IO-TKI had better OS, PFS and DoR relative to sunitinib (all p<0.001). Patients who received IO-TKI had similar OS and PFS relative to nivo-ipi, with a 36-month ΔRMST of -0.55 (95% CI: -1.71-0.60; p=0.3) and -1.5 (95% CI: -2.9-0.0; p=0.051) months, respectively. Regarding DoR, patients who received nivo-ipi had longer duration of response relative to IO-TKI, with a 24-month ΔRMST of 1.5 (95% CI: 0.2-2.8; p=0.02) months. Conclusion Despite overall similar OS and PFS for patients receiving nivo-ipi and IO-TKI combinations, DoR was more favorable in patients who received nivo-ipi compared to IO-TKI. A meta-analysis based on differences in RMST is a useful alternative whenever the proportional hazard assumption is violated.

Abstract
Background To provide better prognostic information for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) combined with venous tumor thrombus (VTT). In turn, guide patients’ families and doctors to formulate plans for follow-up treatment and follow-up. We developed nomograms to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Methods A total of 2961 cases were included in this study. Through univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis, independent risk factors affecting CSS and OS were screened out, and then a nomogram was drawn based on the screened variables. Results Independent risk factors affecting CSS include: tumor size (HR = 1.05), histology (HR = 1.75), grade (HR = 1.94), N staging (HR = 2.06), and M staging (HR = 2.87). The median survival time for CSS was 106 months. Independent risk factors for OS include age (HR = 1.60), tumor size (HR = 1.04), histology (HR = 1.60), grade (HR = 1.68), N staging (HR-1.99), M staging (HR = 2.45). The median survival time for OS is 67 months. Conclusions The nomogram based on independent risk factors affecting CSS and OS can well predict the prognosis of renal cell carcinoma with venous tumor thrombus.

Basic Characteristics and Survival Outcomes of Asian-American Patients with Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma and Comparisons with White Patients: A Population-Based Analysis.

Abstract
Background To explore the baseline characteristics, pathological and survival outcomes of Asian-American patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), and make comparisons with White patients. Materials and Methods In this study, patients diagnosed with ccRCC between 2010 and 2015 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Basic characteristics of Asian-American patients were analysed and compared with White patients. Then, proportional mortality ratio (PMR) analyses were performed in Asian population to investigate the proportions of different cause of deaths (CODs), and make comparisons with White patients. Moreover, Kaplan-Meier (KM) analyses were developed to investigate the survival disparities of ccRCC patients between Asian-Americans and White patients. Finally, a competing risk regression model was constructed to identify potential prognostic factors for ccRCC patients in the whole population. Results A total of 1586 Asian-American patients were eventually identified, and the median age at diagnosis was 61 years old. In Asian patients, those from South Asian had the youngest age at diagnosis (P<0.001) and the earliest stage of diseases (localized: 76.83%, T1: 70.73%, all P<0.05) when compared with other ethnicities. No significant differences were detected in tumor characteristics between Asian-Americans and White patients. Older age (P<0.001), earlier stage (P<0.001) and the administration of surgery (P=0.050) were tightly associated with a lower risk of dying of RCC in Asian-American patients. Additionally, Asian-American patients had comparable survival outcomes when compared with White patients. Lastly, competing risk regression model revealed that age at diagnosis (P<0.001), tumor grade (P<0.001), histological stage (P<0.001), median household income (P<0.001) and the administration of surgery (P<0.001) were prognostic factors for cancer-specific survival (CSS) in ccRCC patients, while died of other causes was regarded as a competing event. Conclusion Asian-American patients had similar tumor characteristics and survival outcomes with White patients. In Asian patients, those from South Asian had the youngest age at diagnosis and the earliest stage of diseases. Age, grade, histological stage, household income and surgery were identified to be closely related to CSS in ccRCC patients. In the future, prospective and well-designed studies are needed to verify our findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare Cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in patients with Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) vs. non-SCC penile cancer, since survival outcomes may differ between histological subtypes. METHODS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database (2004-2016), penile cancer patients of all stages were identified. Temporal trend analyses, cumulative incidence and Kaplan-Meier plots, multivariable Cox regression and Fine and Gray competing-risks regression analyses tested for CSM differences between non-SCC vs. SCC penile cancer patients. RESULTS Of 4,120 eligible penile cancer patients, 123 (3%) harbored non-SCC vs. 4,027 (97%) SCC. Of all non-SCC patients, 51 (41%) harbored melanomas, 42 (34%) basal cell carcinomas, 10 (8%) adenocarcinomas, eight (6.5%) skin appendage malignancies, six (5%) epithelial cell neoplasms, two (1.5%) neuroendocrine tumors, two (1.5%) lymphomas, two (1.5%) sarcomas. Stage at presentation differed between non-SCC vs. SCC. In temporal trend analyses, non-SCC diagnoses neither decreased nor increased over time (p > 0.05). After stratification according to localized, locally advanced, and metastatic stage, no CSM differences were observed between non-SCC vs. SCC, with 5-year survival rates of 11 vs 11% (p = 0.9) for localized, 33 vs. 37% (p = 0.4) for locally advanced, and 1-year survival rates of 37 vs. 53% (p = 0.9) for metastatic penile cancer, respectively. After propensity score matching for patient and tumor characteristics and additional multivariable adjustment, no CSM differences between non-SCC vs. SCC were observed. CONCLUSION Non-SCC penile cancer is rare. Although exceptions exist, on average, non-SCC penile cancer has comparable CSM as SCC penile cancer patients, after stratification for localized, locally invasive, and metastatic disease.

Abstract
Purpose To test the value of preoperative and postoperative cystatin C (CysC) as a predictor on kidney function after partial (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients with normal preoperative renal function. Methods From 01/2011 to 12/2014, 195 consecutive RCC patients with a preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 60 ml/min/1.73m2 underwent surgical RCC treatment with either PN or RN. Logistic and linear regression models tested for the effect of CysC as a predictor of new-onset chronic kidney disease in follow-up (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2). Moreover, postoperative CysC and creatinine values were compared for kidney function estimation. Results Of 195 patients, 129 (66.2%) underwent PN. In postoperative and in follow-up setting (median 14 months, IQR 10–20), rates of eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 were 55.9 and 30.2%. In multivariable logistic regression models, preoperative CysC [odds ratio (OR): 18.3] and RN (OR: 13.5) were independent predictors for a reduced eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 in follow-up (both p < 0.01), while creatinine was not. In multivariable linear regression models, a difference of the preoperative CysC level of 0.1 mg/dl estimated an eGFR decline in follow-up of about 5.8 ml/min/1.73m2. Finally, we observed a plateau of postoperative creatinine values in the range of 1.2–1.3 mg/dl, when graphically depicted vs. postoperative CysC values (‘creatinine blind area’). Conclusion Preoperative CysC predicts renal function impairment following RCC surgery. Furthermore, CysC might be superior to creatinine for renal function monitoring in the early postoperative setting.

Sci Rep 2021; 11:11835. [PMID: 34088935 PMCID: PMC8178392 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-91217-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2020] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
There is still a lack of competing risk analysis of patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) following surgery. We performed the cumulative incidence function (CIF) to estimate the absolute risks of cancer-specific mortality (CSM) and other-cause mortality (OCM) of pRCC over time, and constructed a nomogram predicting the probability of 2-, 3- and 5-year CSM based on competing risk regression. A total of 5993 pRCC patients who underwent nephrectomy between 2010 and 2016 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The 2-, 3-, 5-year CSM rates were 3.2%, 4.4% and 6.5%, respectively, and that of OCM were 3.2%, 5.0% and 9.3%, respectively. The estimates of 5-year cumulative mortality were most pronounced among patients aged > 75 years in OCM (17.0%). On multivariable analyses, age, tumor grade, T stage, N stage, and with or without bone, liver and lung metastases were identified as independent predictors of CSM following surgery and were integrated to generate the nomogram. The nomogram achieved a satisfactory discrimination with the AUCt of 0.730 at 5-year, and the calibration curves presented impressive agreements. Taken together, age-related OCM is a significant portion of all-cause mortality in elderly patients and our nomogram can be used for decision-making and patient counselling.
