Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the impact of hemodialysis on survival in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. METHODS We studied 388 patients who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy for RCC at Toranomon Hospital from 2005 to 2013. Survival curves were drawn according to the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank test. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model to assess the prognostic influence of hemodialysis on cancer-specific survival. RESULT Of the 388 patients, 66 were on hemodialysis and 322 were not on dialysis. In the hemodialysis patients, incidental diagnosis of RCC was less frequent than in the non-dialysis patients. In addition, RCC was more likely to be multicentric (41% vs 1.2%), bilateral (14% vs 0.6%), and papillary (18% vs 7%) in hemodialysis patients. Moreover, tumors were smaller, the stage was lower, and the Fuhrman nuclear grade was higher in the patients on hemodialysis. The 5-year cancer-specific survival rate was 82.8% for hemodialysis patients and 93.5% for nondialysis patients. Multivariate analysis indicated that hemodialysis, stage, and Fuhrman nuclear grade were independent prognostic factors for RCC. CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that hemodialysis was an independent prognostic factor for cancer-specific survival in RCC patients, along with the tumor stage and Fuhrman nuclear grade.

The De Ritis (Aspartate Transaminase/Alanine Transaminase) Ratio as a Prognosticator in Patients With End-stage Renal Disease-associated Renal Cell Carcinoma. Clin Genitourin Cancer 2019; 18:236-240.e1. [PMID: 31917171 DOI: 10.1016/j.clgc.2019.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2019] [Revised: 12/07/2019] [Accepted: 12/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aspartate transaminase (AST)/alanine transaminase (ALT) ratio (ie, the De Ritis ratio) is associated with prognosis in some types of cancers including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Meanwhile, an effective prognosticator for end-stage renal disease (ESRD)-associated RCC remains unknown. Thus, we investigated the prognostic impact of the AST/ALT ratio in patients with ESRD-associated RCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 243 patients receiving radical nephrectomy for nonmetastatic ESRD-associated RCC. The patients were divided according to the cutoff value of preoperative AST/ALT ratio. Prognostic factors associated with cancer-specific survival (CSS) after radical nephrectomy were analyzed. RESULTS The maximum Youden index showed that the cutoff value of the AST/ALT ratio was 1.42. The high AST/ALT ratio group (≥ 1.42; n = 88) had a significantly shorter 10-year CSS than the low AST/ALT ratio group (64.3% vs. 87.2%; P = .0027). Multivariate analysis revealed that the AST/ALT ratio was an independent prognostic factor of CSS (hazard ratio [HR], 3.03; P = .0020), together with serum C-reactive protein level (HR, 4.84; P < .0001), pathologic stage (HR, 2.79; P = .0030), and tumor grade (HR, 7.08; P = .0087). Based on these independent factors, the patients were further classified into 3 groups: low (0-1 factor), intermediate (2 factors), and high risk (3-4 factors). The 10-year CSS in the high-risk group was significantly shorter than that of the other groups (68.9% vs. 70.9% vs. 94.4%; P < .0001). CONCLUSION The AST/ALT ratio can aid in the risk classification of patients with ESRD-associated RCC.

Abstract
Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) is a condition that occurs predominantly in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In contrast to hereditary cystic kidney disease, ACKD is characterized by the presence of multiple small cysts in bilaterally small kidneys. Limited pediatric data suggest a high incidence (21.6-45.8%) of ACKD in children on dialysis, comparable to that in adults, with an increased frequency associated with a longer duration of dialysis. Recent research has shed light on the pathogenesis of ACKD, such as activation of proto-oncogenes. Although most patients with ACKD are asymptomatic, the condition can be complicated by renal cell carcinoma. Routine surveillance should therefore be considered in at-risk populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate which clinical symptoms predict the survival of patients with renal cell carcinoma associated with end-stage renal disease under chronic dialysis. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 401 patients with renal cell carcinoma associated with end-stage renal disease who underwent radical nephrectomy at our institute up through December 2012. Patients were divided into two groups: the symptomatic group and the incidental group, by diagnosis. We compared the clinicopathologic features and patient survival of the two groups and investigated prognostic factors using Cox multivariate analysis. RESULTS Of the 401 patients, 124 (30.9%) were in the symptomatic group and 277 (69.0%) in the incidental group. The symptomatic group included more advanced tumors in terms of larger tumor size, higher stage and higher grade compared with the incidental group. The 5-year cancer-specific survival and overall survival of the symptomatic and incidental groups were 76.9 vs. 95.3% (P < 0.001) and 64.2 vs. 84.9% (P < 0.001), respectively. On multivariate analysis, the presence of symptoms, higher age, higher stage, diabetic nephropathy and longer hemodialysis duration were independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS Symptomatic detection was significantly associated with worse overall survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma associated with end-stage renal disease as well as sporadic renal cell carcinoma. The high incidence of renal cell carcinoma as well as the poor oncologic outcome in patients with longer dialysis therapy may suggest an important role for routine screening in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Limited data are available regarding patients with renal cell carcinoma and ESRD treated with TTs. The objective of this study was to explore the tolerability and safety of TT in patients with mRCC and ESRD. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified patients with mRCC and ESRD treated at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center from 2002 to 2012. Patient characteristics including demographic, histology, treatment, and adverse events are reported. Duration of treatment (TOT) was determined from date of drug initiation to discontinuation. Overall survival (OS) was determined from initiation of TT to death. Statistics are descriptive. RESULTS Fourteen patients were identified. Ten patients had clear-cell histology and 4 had papillary histology. The median number of TTs per patient was 3 (range, 1-4) with median TOT of 28 months for all TTs. Eighty-eight percent of all toxicities were Grade 1 to 2; no Grade 4 toxicities were noted. Treatment discontinuations included 3 patients treated with sorafenib due to hand-foot syndrome, intolerable fatigue, and squamous cell skin cancer development; 2 patients treated with pazopanib due to intolerable fatigue and increased transaminase levels; and 1 patient treated with everolimus due to pneumonitis. Eight patients died from progressive disease. Median OS from initiation of TT was 28.5 months and 35 months from time of diagnosis. CONCLUSION Toxicities were mild to moderate and consistent with those reported in previous studies. TTs appear to be safe, well tolerated and produce antitumor response in patients with mRCC and ESRD receiving dialysis.

Abstract
Although local recurrence of renal cell carcinoma after laparoscopic radical nephrectomy is sometimes reported, cystic local recurrence of renal cell carcinoma has rarely been reported. We report the case of a 59-year-old man with hemodialysis who developed cystic local recurrence of renal cell carcinoma accompanied by acquired cystic disease of the kidney in the retroperitoneal space after laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. A cystic tumor of 5.1 cm in diameter occurred in the left retroperitoneal space 15 months after left laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, and enlarged to 7.2 cm in diameter with enhanced mass along the wall of the cyst 36 months after surgery. The cystic tumor was removed and showed local recurrence of renal cell carcinoma on pathological examination.
