Abstract

Objectives: To identify independent predictors of progression and global survival in patients affected by pT3 renal cell carcinoma. To make risk groups by risk factors.<br />Material and Methods: We evaluated 117 patients with pT3 renal cell carcinoma. 88 was M0 and 29 M1. Most frequent clinical feature: asintomatic patients. 80 males (69%) and 37 females (31%). Mean age 59 (24-82). Median follow up 34 months (mean 44 +/- 39 months).<br />Results: Pathological stage (TNM 1997) was pT3a in 52 patients (43.6%), pT3b 63 patients (53.6%) and pT3c 2 patients.<br />Histology: clear cell carcinoma 106 patients (90.6%), papillary 5 patients (4.3%) an dchromophobe 4 patients (3.4%). Nuclear grading according Fuhrman's classification: G1 13 patients, G2 45 patients, G3 32 and G4 12 patients. Size > 4 cm (p = 0.005/p = 0.0019), grade 3-4 (p = 0.006/p = 0.0007), N+ (p = 0.034/p = 0.009) and M+ (p = 0.035/p = 0.042) were independent prognosis factors for progression and global survival of the pT3 renal cell carcinoma. Patients M0 with 0 or 1 risk factor have better global survival tanh patients M0 with 3 or 4 risk factors and patients M1.<br />Conclusions: Size, grade, N+ and M+ were independent prognosis factors for progression and global survival of the pT3 renal cell carcinoma. Tera are no differencies in global survival between patients M0 with 2 or 3 risk factors and patients M1.
