Comparison of predictive accuracy of four prognostic models for nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma after nephrectomy

Abstract: Despite centuries of investigation, the function of the maxillary sinus (MS) and underlying patterns governing its form remain elusive. In this study, we articulate a methodology for collecting volumetric data for the MS and nasal cavity (NC) from computed tomography (CT) scans and report details for a small sample of 39 dried human crania of known ecogeographic provenience useful for assessing variation in MS size and shape. We use scaling analyses to preliminarily test the hypothesis that volumes of the nasa… Show more

“…Although such factors are consistent predictors of outcome at a population level, they are not always reliable in individual patients (16). Incorporation of factors that may be induced in the host by the presence of the tumor, as investigated in this study, may be valuable.…”

“…Multiple studies have demonstrated the superiority of more complex predictive modeling in providing improved accuracy compared with risk group assignment techniques. 16 The nomogram is precise and punctual instrument to estimate the prognosis of a single patient. In this study, patients in clinical stages II and III have a wide variation in their nomogram-predicted risk of developing metastasis: TNM staging alone is inadequate in delineating which of these patients need more aggressive management.…”

“…10 Overall our 5-year RFS from RCC in patients undergoing nephrectomy was 79.2%, consistent with another published rate in the literature of 78% in similar patients. 11 There is currently a debate in the surgical oncology literature about what are appropriate waiting periods from diagnosis to operative intervention. There are only 3 studies in the urological literature that have addressed waiting times for renal cancer surgery.…”
