Purpose: Our understanding of the natural history of renal cell carcinoma, the role of
nephrectomy, the benefits of immunotherapy and the possibilities of new technologies are …

PURPOSE: Determination of prognostic factors is essential for the management of renal cell
carcinoma. Stage, histological grade and type, and performance status are now well known …

Purpose: We determine independent prognostic indicators for renal cell carcinoma using the
revised 1997 TNM staging criteria. Materials and Methods: The records of 643 consecutive …

A variety of prognostic factor models to predict survival in patients with metastatic renal cell
carcinoma have been developed. Diverse populations of patients with variable treatments …

Defining rational follow-up guidelines in patients treated for cancer is important, from both a
medical and an economical perspective. Renal-cell carcinoma is reputed to be …

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignancy with an adverse prognosis for the majority of
the patients. Despite that an increasing number of patients incidentally is diagnosed, still …

Objective To assess nuclear morphometry as a predictor of prognosis in patients with renal
cell carcinoma (RCC). Patients and methods The study included 65 consecutive patients …

Objectives. Identification of patients with a high probability of recurrence after nephrectomy
for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is required for adjuvant studies of new therapies. Nuclear …

Various grading systems have been proposed for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), using
nuclear, cytoplasmic, and architectural features. The available evidence suggests that …

PURPOSE: In many types of cancer, certain morphometric characteristc of tumor cells
correlate with patient survival. Our observations suggested that the survival of patients with …
