UroToday.com - the size of tumour was shown with directly are correlated with patient results in the patients presenting renal carcinome of cells (RCC) although absolute size where the tumours show l’ increased aggressiveness remains a subject of great discussion. The presence of l’ invasion lymphovascular in the differently localised tumours of RCC was associated unfavourable results, well qu’ still, this remains a subject of the polemic with contradictory data in the literature. Here, Miyagawa and colleagues examine these parameters as predictive factors of results in their population of patient of RCC.

Les authors give an account of 162 patients who underwent the nephrectomy radical for localised RCC or locally advanced over one 13 years period. The median follow-up for the group was 97 month. In l’ analyze univariable and multivariable, the authors noted qu’ a cut of size of tumour of 5 centimetres differentiated significantly from the patients as for the free repetition (p=0.004) and to total survival (p=0.001). The presence of l’ invasion lymphovascular however, n’ was not a significant predictive factor of results in l’ analyze univariable or multivariable.

Les authors concludes that the cut of 5.0cm could be more adapted distinction of size to envisage results in the patients with localised RCC.
