- Abstract
This article cites a study that identified independent prognostic factors for survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma after curative surgery. The records of 482 patients who underwent curative surgery for renal cell carcinoma at Gifu University Hospital and its affiliated hospitals between 1991 and 2000 were reviewed. The average follow-up period was 42 months. Clinical characteristics of the 482 patients were divided into three categories: patient factors, tumor factors, and treatment factor. Stepwise multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression modeling was performed to identify independent determinants of survival. Of the patient factors, performance status and mode of tumor discovery were independent factors predicting survival. Of the tumor factors, venous invasion and mode of infiltration were independent factors predicting survival.
