Abstract
INTRODUCTION Papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is the second most common histology of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), accounting for 10-15% of cases. Traditionally, pRCC is divided into type 1 and type 2, although this division is currently debated as a prognostic factor of survival. Our aim was to investigate the epidemiology and survival of the pRCC subtypes in a whole nation cohort of patients during a 50-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS A Population based retrospective study including consecutive cases of RCC in Iceland from 1971-2020. Comparisons were made between histological classifications of RCC, with emphasis on pRCC subtypes (type 1 vs. 2) for outcome estimation. Changes in RCC incidence were analyzed in 5-year intervals after age standardization. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression were used for outcome analysis. RESULTS A total of 1.725 cases were identified, with 74.4%, 2.1% and 9.2% having clear cell (ccRCC), chromophobe (chRCC), and pRCC, respectively. The age standardized incidence (ASI) of pRCC was 1.97/100.000 for males and 0.5/100.000 for females, and the proportion of pRCC increased from 3.7% to 11.5% between the first and last intervals of the study (p < 0.001). Age standardized cancer specific mortality (ASCSM) of pRCC was 0.6/100.000 and 0.19/100.000 for males and females, respectively. The annual average increase in ASI was 3.6% for type 1 pRCC, but the ASI for type 2 pRCC and ASCSM for both subtypes did not change significantly. Male to female ratio was 4.4 for type 1 pRCC and 2.3 for type 2. The average tumor size for type 1 and 2 was 58.8 and 73.7 mm, respectively. Metastasis at diagnosis was found in 8.7% in the type 1 pRCC, compared to 30.0% of patients with type 2 pRCC (p < 0.001). Estimated 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) were 94.4%, 80.7%, and 69.3% for chRCC, pRCC and ccRCC, respectively (p < 0.001). For the pRCC subtypes, type 1 was associated with better 5-year CSS than type 2 (86.3% vs. 66.0%, p < 0.001), although this difference was not significant after adjusting for cancer stage and grading. CONCLUSIONS pRCC histology was slightly less common in Iceland than in other countries. Males are more than three times more likely to be diagnosed with pRCC, compared to other RCC histologies. The subtype of pRCC was not found to be an independent risk factor for worse survival, and as suggested by the most recent WHO Classification of Urinary Tumors, grade and TNM-stage seem to be the most important factors for estimation of survival for pRCC patients.

A Review of the Paradigmatic Role of Adipose Tissue in Renal Cancer: Fat Measurement and Tumor Behavior Features. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1697. [PMID: 38730649 PMCID: PMC11083503 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16091697] [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: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) incidence has been steadily rising, with obesity identified as a potential risk factor. However, the relationship between obesity and RCC prognosis remains unclear. This systematic review aims to investigate the impact of different adipose tissue measurements on RCC behavior and prognosis. (2) Methods: A search of MEDLINE databases identified 20 eligible studies focusing on various fat measurements, including visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), perirenal adipose tissue (PRAT), and the Mayo adhesive probability (MAP) score. (3) Results: The review revealed conflicting findings regarding the association between adipose tissue measurements and RCC outcomes. While some studies suggested a protective role of certain fat deposits, particularly VAT, against disease progression and mortality, others reported contradictory results across different adipose metrics and RCC subtypes. (4) Conclusions: Methodological variations and limitations, such as retrospective designs and sample size constraints, pose challenges to standardization and generalizability. Further research is needed to understand these associations better and establish standardized approaches for adiposity assessment in RCC patients, which could inform clinical practice and therapeutic decision-making.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) frequently spreads to distant organs like the lung, lymph nodes, bone, and liver. However, there have been some reports of RCC bladder metastasis. We present a case of a 61-year-old man presented with total painless gross hematuria. The patient had a history of right radical nephrectomy for papillary (type 2) RCC, high-grade, pT3a with negative surgical margins. There was no evidence of metastases on 6-month surveillance CT. After one-year post-operation, at this current admission, the cystoscopy discovered a solid bladder mass away from the trigone in the right lateral bladder wall. The resected bladder mass was metastatic papillary RCC with PAX-8 positive but GATA-3 negative on immunostaining. A positron emission tomography scan confirmed multiple lung, liver, and osseous metastases. This case report can highlight the importance of having bladder metastasis in RCC mind, although rare, and may necessitate the surveillance measures like urine analysis at more frequent interval and CT Urography instead of regular CT to detect the RCC metastatic bladder cancer at early stage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare overall survival (OS), recurrence free survival (RFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in the long-term follow-up of T1 and T2 clear-cell-Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) and papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma (pRCC) patients, as well as to determine the risk factors for recurrence and overall mortality. MATERIAL AND METHOD Data of patients with kidney tumors obtained from the Urologic Cancer Database - Kidney (UroCaD-K) of Turkish Urooncology Association (TUOA) were evaluated retrospectively. Out of them, patients who had pathological T1-T2 ccRCC and pRCC were included in the study. According to the two histological subtype, recurrence and mortality status, RFS, OS and CSS data were analyzed. RESULTS RFS, OS and CSS of pRCC and ccRCC were found to be similar. Radiological local invasion was shown to be a risk factor for recurrence in pRCC, and age was the only independent factor affecting overall mortality. CONCLUSIONS There were no differences in survivals (RFS, OS and CSS) of patients with localized papillary and clear cell RCC. While age was the only factor affecting overall mortality, radiological local invasion was a risk factor for recurrence in papillary RCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy and safety of single port robotic transperitoneal (TP) and retroperitoneal (RP) partial nephrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS From September 2021 to June 2022, 30 sequential cases of partial nephrectomy performed after a single port (SP) robot was introduced to our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were diagnosed with T1 renal cell carcinoma and operated by a single expert in conventional robot with a da Vinci SP platform. RESULTS A total of 30 patients underwent SP robotic partial nephrectomy, including 16 (53.33%) by TP and 14 (47.67%) by RP. Body mass index was slightly higher in the TP group (25.37 vs. 23.53, p-value = 0.040). Other demographic characteristics were not significantly different between the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference in ischemic time (727.41 ± 561.18 sec for TP and 698.56 ± 299.23 sec for RP, p-value = 0.812) or console time (67.97 ± 24.06 min for TP and 69.71 ± 28.66 min for RP, p-value = 0.724). There was no statistically significant difference in perioperative or pathological outcome either. Renal function calculated from DTPA was 103.33 ml/min/1.73m2 for TP and 101.33 ml/min/1.73m2 for RP (p-value = 0.214) postoperatively. It was 90.36 ml/min/1.73m2 for TP and 87.74 ml/min/1.73m2 for RP (p-value = 0.592) at 90 days after surgery. CONCLUSION SP robot partial nephrectomy can be performed effectively and safely regardless of the approach. Both TP and RP approaches offer similar perioperative and postoperative outcomes for T1 RCC.

A novel nomogram and risk classification system predicting the overall survival of patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma after nephrectomy: A population-based study.

Abstract
Background Papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is the largest histologic subtype of non-clear-cell RCC. To date, there is no reliable nomogram to predict the prognosis of patients with pRCC after nephrectomy. We aimed to first establish an effective nomogram to predict the overall survival (OS) of patients with pRCC after nephrectomy. Methods A total of 3,528 eligible patients with pRCC after nephrectomy were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2015. The patients were randomized into the training cohort (n = 2,472) and the validation cohort (n = 1,056) at a 7:3 ratio. In total, 122 real-world samples from our institute (titled the AHMU-pRCC cohort) were used as the external validation cohort. Univariate and subsequent multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to identify OS-related prognostic factors, which were further used to establish a prognostic nomogram for predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS probabilities. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated by using the concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), calibration plot, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results Multivariate Cox analysis showed that age, race, marital status, TNM stage, tumor size, and surgery were significant OS-related prognostic factors. A prognostic model consisting of these clinical parameters was developed and virtualized by a nomogram. High C-index and area under the ROC curve (AUC) values of the nomogram at 1, 3, and 5 years were found in the training, validation, and AHMU-pRCC cohorts. The calibration plot and DCA also showed that the nomogram had a satisfactory clinical application value. A risk classification system was established to risk-stratify patients with pRCC. Conclusion Based on a large cohort from the public SEER database, a reliable nomogram predicting the OS of patients with pRCC after nephrectomy was constructed, which could optimize the survival assessment and clinical treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nectin-4 contributes to tumor proliferation, lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis in malignant tumors and is an emerging target in tumor therapy. In renal cell carcinoma (RCC) VEGF-directed tyrosine kinase inhibitors and checkpoint inhibitors are currently treatments of choice. Enfortumab vedotin-ejf (EV) is an antibody drug conjugate that targets Nectin-4. The aim of our study was to investigate the expression of Nectin-4 in a large cohort of papillary RCC specimens. PATIENTS AND METHODS Specimens were derived from the PANZAR consortium (Erlangen, Heidelberg, Herne, Homburg, Mainz, Mannheim, Marburg, Muenster, LMU Munich, TU Munich, and Regensburg). Clinical data and tissue samples from n = 190 and n = 107 patients with type 1 and 2 pRCC, respectively, were available. Expression of Nectin-4 was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). RESULTS In total, Nectin-4 staining was moderately or strongly positive in of 92 (48.4%) of type 1 and 39 (36.4%) type 2 of pRCC cases. No associations between Nectin-4 expression and age at diagnosis, gender, grading, and TNM stage was found. 5 year overall survival rate was not statistically different in patients with Nectin-4 negative versus Nectin-4 positive tumors for the overall cohort and the pRCC type 2 subgroup, but higher in patient with Nectin-4 positive pRCC type 1 tumors compared to Nectin-4 negative tumors (81.3% vs. 67.8%, p = 0.042). CONCLUSION Nectin-4 could not be confirmed as a prognostic marker in pRCC in general. Due to its high abundance on pRCC specimens Nectin-4 is an interesting target for therapeutical approaches e.g. with EV. Clinical trials are warranted to elucidate its role in the pRCC treatment landscape.

Abstract
Introduction The aim of this article was to compare oncological outcomes after partial nephrectomy between patients with positive (PSM) and negative (NSM) surgical margins. Material and methods In this retrospective study, the data of 733 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy with diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were analyzed. A total of 80 patients from the NSM group were matched to 42 PSM patients. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate freedom from local disease recurrence and metastatic progression and overall survival. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the predictors for recurrence/metastasis. Results The mean age was 58.4 ±11.4 years (range: 29 to 82). Median follow-up was 24 months (IQ25-75: 15–36.2). A total of 5 patients from the PSM group (6.2%) developed local recurrence and metastasis was detected in 2 (2.5%) of them while no metastasis or recurrence was observed in the NSM group. In the multivariate analysis, positive surgical margin was the only independent predictor for recurrence/metastasis (HR[CI] = 0.19[0.04–0.75], p = 0.019). Recurrence-free survival was higher in the NSM group (100% for the NSM group vs 88.1%, p = 0.002) and recurrence/metastasis-free survival was also higher in the NSM group (100% for the NSM group vs 85.7%, p = 0.001), but there were no differences in overall survival between the two groups (96.3% for the NSM group vs 97.6% for the PSM group, p = 0.68). Conclusions Although tumor recurrence was more prevalent in positive surgical margin patients who underwent partial nephrectomy, there were no differences in overall survival between the two groups. Therefore, active surveillance against further surgery would be a proper option after finding the tumor-involved margins.

Abstract
To comprehensively compare the survival outcomes of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC), the study cohort included ccRCC and pRCC patients in 2004–2017 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, which comprises 18 registries. Primary outcomes including overall mortality (OM) and cancer‐specific mortality (CSM) were evaluated. Subgroup analyses were conducted for different ages, race, and disease stages. A total of 112,270 cases were eligible for the current analysis, including 92,209 cases of ccRCC and 20,061 cases of pRCC. Univariate analyses suggested that pRCC has a more favorable outcome than ccRCC in terms of CSM (HR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.68–0.75, p < 0.001) and OM (HR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.88–0.93, p < 0.001). Multivariate‐adjusted HRs suggested that pRCC has worse survival outcomes than ccRCC (adjusted HR: 1.08 for CSM and 1.05 for OM, both p < 0.05). Subgroup analyses showed that pRCC had a significantly poorer prognosis than ccRCC among patients ≤45 years old (HRCSM: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.31–1.93, p < 0.001; HROM: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.40–1.90, p < 0.001). Among patients with distant metastasis, those with pRCC had a higher risk of CSM and OM than those with ccRCC (HRCSM: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.19–1.39, p < 0.001; HROM: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.21–1.40, p < 0.001). Propensity score analyses for patients ≤45 years old and those with metastasis showed similar results. The lack of information on pRCC subtypes in the SEER database was a limitation. In conclusion, pRCC has poorer survival outcomes than ccRCC among patients younger than 45 years old and patients with distant metastasis.

Abstract
Background Xp11.2 translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) is recently recognized. As Xp11.2 tRCC involved gene translocation and fusion in X chromosome and the number of X chromosomes in female is twice of male, we wondered whether the gender difference of attack rate is consistent with the proportion of the X chromosome. Methods: In the present paper, meta-analysis was performed to find out the difference of morbidity between male and female. Results Nine studies with 209 cases calculated. Odds ratios (ORs) and ORs with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for attack rate of Xp11.2 RCC with different gender. The result showed that the attack rate of female was higher than that of male with pooled OR of 2.84 (95% CI = 1.48–5.45), while the rate rises even further in adult (OR = 3.37, 95% CI =2.19–5.18). In other types of common kidney cancer, the OR value is less than 1, which means that the incidence of female is lower than that of male. Conclusions The result showed that the incidence rate of female patients is much higher than that of male patients with Xp11.2 tRCC, it was reasonable to indicate that this particular incidence rate is related to the X chromosome.

Radiomics Applications in Renal Tumor Assessment: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12061387.

Abstract
Radiomics texture analysis offers objective image information that could otherwise not be obtained by radiologists′ subjective radiological interpretation. We investigated radiomics applications in renal tumor assessment and provide a comprehensive review. A detailed search of original articles was performed using the PubMed-MEDLINE database until 20 March 2020 to identify English literature relevant to radiomics applications in renal tumor assessment. In total, 42 articles were included in the analysis and divided into four main categories: renal mass differentiation, nuclear grade prediction, gene expression-based molecular signatures, and patient outcome prediction. The main area of research involves accurately differentiating benign and malignant renal masses, specifically between renal cell carcinoma (RCC) subtypes and from angiomyolipoma without visible fat and oncocytoma. Nuclear grade prediction may enhance proper patient selection for risk-stratified treatment. Radiomics-predicted gene mutations may serve as surrogate biomarkers for high-risk disease, while predicting patients’ responses to targeted therapies and their outcomes will help develop personalized treatment algorithms. Studies generally reported the superiority of radiomics over expert radiological interpretation. Radiomics provides an alternative to subjective image interpretation for improving renal tumor diagnostic accuracy. Further incorporation of clinical and imaging data into radiomics algorithms will augment tumor prediction accuracy and enhance individualized medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To perform a systematic review on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of renal tumor subtypes and meta-analysis on the diagnostic performance of ADC for differentiation of localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) from other renal tumor types. METHODS Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies published until May 1, 2019, that reported ADC values of renal tumors. Methodological quality was evaluated. For the meta-analysis on diagnostic test accuracy of ADC for differentiation of ccRCC from other renal lesions, we applied a bivariate random-effects model and compared two subgroups of ADC measurement with vs. without cystic and necrotic areas. RESULTS We included 48 studies (2588 lesions) in the systematic review and 13 studies (1126 lesions) in the meta-analysis. There was no significant difference in ADC of renal parenchyma using b values of 0-800 vs. 0-1000 (p = 0.08). ADC measured on selected portions (sADC) excluding cystic and necrotic areas differed significantly from whole-lesion ADC (wADC) (p = 0.002). Compared to ccRCC, minimal-fat angiomyolipoma, papillary RCC, and chromophobe RCC showed significantly lower sADC while oncocytoma exhibited higher sADC. Summary estimates of sensitivity and specificity to differentiate ccRCC from other tumors were 80% (95% CI, 0.76-0.88) and 78% (95% CI, 0.64-0.89), respectively, for sADC and 77% (95% CI, 0.59-0.90) and 77% (95% CI, 0.69-0.86) for wADC. sADC offered a higher area under the receiver operating characteristic curve than wADC (0.852 vs. 0.785, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS ADC values of kidney tumors that exclude cystic or necrotic areas more accurately differentiate ccRCC from other renal tumor types than whole-lesion ADC values. KEY POINTS • Selective ADC of renal tumors, excluding cystic and necrotic areas, provides better discriminatory ability than whole-lesion ADC to differentiate clear cell RCC from other renal lesions, with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.852 vs. 0.785, respectively (p = 0.02). • Selective ADC of renal masses provides moderate sensitivity and specificity of 80% and 78%, respectively, for differentiation of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from papillary RCC, chromophobe RCC, oncocytoma, and minimal-fat angiomyolipoma. • Selective ADC excluding cystic and necrotic areas are preferable to whole-lesion ADC as an additional tool to multiphasic MRI to differentiate clear cell RCC from other renal lesions whether the highest b value is 800 or 1000.

Abstract
Aim: Elevated risk of malignancy-related death after renal transplantation is reported and renal malignancy was ranked as the third most frequent site of malignancy-related death. However, there is a lack of data characterizing renal cell carcinoma associated with end-stage renal disease and kidney transplantation. Patients & methods: We retrospectively identified 5250 patients who underwent kidney transplantation at the Hannover Medical School since 1970. Results: 124 patients with renal cell carcinoma (incidence 2.36%) were identified. Among all patients, metastatic recurrence was noted in 4.8%. In multivariate analysis, tumor stage and hemoglobin were identified as independent prognostic markers of OS, while tumor grading was predictive for disease recurrence. Conclusion: Apart from showing the prognostic value of tumor staging and hemoglobin, our data suggest that a risk adapted approach for early transplantation is feasible.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To critically review the potential clinical applications of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioactive ligands in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). RECENT FINDINGS Radioactive probes targeting PSMA hold promise in several malignancies in addition to prostate cancer, owing to the expression of PSMA by tumor neovasculature. The majority of clear cell RCCs (ccRCC), the most malignant RCC subtype, express PSMA on tumor-associated neovasculature. The endothelium of less aggressive RCC subtypes is PSMA positive in a lower, but still significant percentage of cases. PSMA might therefore represent an interesting theragnostic target in RCC. The preliminary data available suggest a potential role for PSMA-targeting radiopharmaceuticals in complementing conventional imaging for staging ccRCC patients at risk of nodal involvement and oligometastatic disease. Additional applications of PSMA imaging may be the selection and the response assessment of patients receiving anti-angiogenic treatments. The effectiveness of PSMA-targeting radionuclide therapy should also be investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current World Health Organization classification recognises 12 major subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Although these subtypes differ on molecular and clinical levels, they are generally managed as the same disease, simply because they occur in the same organ. Specifically, there is a paucity of tools to risk-stratify patients with papillary RCC (PRCC). The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a tool to risk-stratify patients with clinically non-metastatic PRCC following curative surgery. METHODS We studied clinicopathological variables and outcomes of 556 patients, who underwent full resection of sporadic, unilateral, non-metastatic (T1-4, N0-1, M0) PRCC at five institutions. Based on multivariable Fine-Gray competing risks regression models, we developed a prognostic scoring system to predict disease recurrence. This was further evaluated in the 150 PRCC patients recruited to the ASSURE trial. We compared the discrimination, calibration and decision-curve clinical net benefit against the Tumour, Node, Metastasis (TNM) stage group, University of California Integrated Staging System (UISS) and the 2018 Leibovich prognostic groups. RESULTS We developed the VENUSS score from significant variables on multivariable analysis, which were the presence of VEnous tumour thrombus, NUclear grade, Size, T and N Stage. We created three risk groups based on the VENUSS score, with a 5-year cumulative incidence of recurrence equalling 2.9% in low-risk, 15.4% in intermediate-risk and 54.5% in high-risk patients. 91.7% of low-risk patients had oligometastatic recurrent disease, compared to 16.7% of intermediate-risk and 40.0% of high-risk patients. Discrimination, calibration and clinical net benefit from VENUSS appeared to be superior to UISS, TNM and Leibovich prognostic groups. CONCLUSIONS We developed and tested a prognostic model for patients with clinically non-metastatic PRCC, which is based on routine pathological variables. This model may be superior to standard models and could be used for tailoring postoperative surveillance and defining inclusion for prospective adjuvant clinical trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the prognosis of papillary and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in order to determine the optimal follow-up and therapy for patients with RCC. METHODS A systematic search of Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and PubMed databases was conducted for articles published through July 30, 2018, reporting on a comparison of the prognosis of papillary RCC and clear cell RCC using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. RESULTS Of 1896 studies, 11 were considered for the evidence synthesis. A total of 35,832 patients were included. Of these patients, 6907 patients were diagnosed with papillary renal cell carcinoma, and 28,925 patients were diagnosed with clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The prognosis of papillary RCC was better than that of clear cell RCC (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.50; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.45 to 0.56; P < .001; I = 91.9%). A subgroup analysis indicated that papillary RCC was associated with better outcomes (HR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.50-1.16), and a trend toward a higher risk of mortality was observed in patients with metastatic RCC presenting with papillary histology, but the difference was not statistically significant (HR = 1.12, 95% CI 0.71-1.76, P = .085). Pooled data suggested a lack of a significant difference between papillary RCC (p-RCC) type 1 and clear cell RCC (cc-RCC) (HR = 0.30, 95% CI 0.12-0.73, P = .085). The pooled HR for the prognosis of p-RCC type 2 compared to cc-RCC was 1.69 (95% CI 0.93-3.08; P = .032). CONCLUSION Papillary RCC is associated with better outcomes than clear cell RCC in patients without metastases, but not in patients with metastases. Optimal follow-up or therapy for patients with RCC should be assigned according to the tumor stage and subtype.

European Association of Urology Guidelines on Renal Cell Carcinoma: The 2019 Update. Eur Urol 2019; 75:799-810. [PMID: 30803729 DOI: 10.1016/j.eururo.2019.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 869] [Impact Index Per Article: 173.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2019] [Accepted: 02/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT The European Association of Urology Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) Guideline Panel has prepared evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for the management of RCC. OBJECTIVE To provide an updated RCC guideline based on standardised methodology including systematic reviews, which is robust, transparent, reproducible, and reliable. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION For the 2019 update, evidence synthesis was undertaken based on a comprehensive and structured literature assessment for new and relevant data. Where necessary, formal systematic reviews adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were undertaken. Relevant databases (Medline, Cochrane Libraries, trial registries, conference proceedings) were searched until June 2018, including randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and retrospective or controlled studies with a comparator arm, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Where relevant, risk of bias (RoB) assessment, and qualitative and quantitative syntheses of the evidence were performed. The remaining sections of the document were updated following a structured literature assessment. Clinical practice recommendations were developed and issued based on the modified GRADE framework. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS All chapters of the RCC guidelines were updated based on a structured literature assessment, for prioritised topics based on the availability of robust data. For RCTs, RoB was low across studies. For most non-RCTs, clinical and methodological heterogeneity prevented pooling of data. The majority of included studies were retrospective with matched or unmatched cohorts, based on single- or multi-institutional data or national registries. The exception was for the treatment of metastatic RCC, for which there were several large RCTs, resulting in recommendations based on higher levels of evidence. CONCLUSIONS The 2019 RCC guidelines have been updated by the multidisciplinary panel using the highest methodological standards. These guidelines provide the most reliable contemporary evidence base for the management of RCC in 2019. PATIENT SUMMARY The European Association of Urology Renal Cell Carcinoma Guideline Panel has thoroughly evaluated the available research data on kidney cancer to establish international standards for the care of kidney cancer patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE We assessed the accuracy of the UISS (UCLA Integrated Staging System) to predict the postoperative recurrence of renal cell carcinoma. We also evaluated whether including patient age and tumor histology would improve clinical decision making. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the records of 1,630 patients treated with nephrectomy at a single academic center. The accuracy of the UISS model to predict early (12 months or less) and late (more than 60 months) recurrence after surgery was compared with a new model including patient age and disease histology. RESULTS The new model and the UISS model showed high accuracy to predict early recurrence after surgery (AUC 0.84, 95% CI 0.81-0.88 and 0.83, 95% CI 0.80-0.87, respectively). In patients diagnosed with low risk tumor types (eg papillary type 1 and chromophobe lesions) the average risk of early recurrence significantly decreased in each UISS risk category when tumor histology was added to the predictive model (low risk 1.6% vs 0.6%, intermediate risk 5.5% vs 1.9% and high risk 45% vs 22%). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no difference in the risk of late recurrence among the UISS risk categories. CONCLUSIONS The UISS model should be applied to tailor the early followup protocol after nephrectomy. Patients with low risk histology deserve less stringent followup regardless of the UISS risk category. Our results do not support a risk stratification model to design a surveillance protocol after 5 years postoperatively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has a propensity to metastasize to the chest, with the lungs being the most common distant metastatic site. The histologic subtype of RCC has implications for prognosis. CONCLUSION Significant advances have been made in the management of metastatic RCC, both in systemic and locoregional therapies. The aim of this article is to review appearances of intrathoracic metastases from RCC and to discuss treatment considerations.
