- Abstract
We have previously reported that patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma and a normal platelet count of 400,000/mm. have a 64% increase in life expectancy compared with those with thrombocytosis. We determined whether thrombocytosis was predictive of death from renal cell carcinoma after radical nephrectomy was performed with curative intent for early stage disease.
