“…In Western countries up to 40-70% of renal tumours are diagnosed incidentally [2][3][4]. Some series in the relevant literature show that conservative renal surgery provides optimal oncological control in renal tumours of less than 4 cm in diameter [2,5], and these same oncological outcomes with the use of both techniques are currently being demonstrated in neoplasms of up to 7 cm [6,7].…”

“…Beisland et al reported an increase in the incidental detection from 21.1% in 1978-87 to 34.7% in 1988-2000 (18). Furthermore, several studies report a survival benefit of incidental detection of RCC greater than what can be explained by lower stage or grade (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). Over a 40-year period, Thompson and Peek found that 75% of symptomatic patients died from renal cell carcinoma vs 15% for patients with incidental tumors (23).…”

On the basis of associations between tumor size, pathological stage, histological subtype and tumor grade in incidentally detected renal cell carcinoma vs symptomatic renal cell carcinoma, we discussed the need for a screening program of renal cell carcinoma in Denmark. We analyzed a consecutive series of 204 patients with renal tumors in 2011 and 2012. The tumors were classified according to detection mode: symptomatic and incidental and compared to pathological parameters. Eighty-nine patients (44%) were symptomatic, 113 (55%) were incidental. Information was not available in two patients. In the incidental group, the size (p<0.05), pathological stage (p<0.001), Fuhrman grading (p<0.0001) and Leibovich score (p<0.0001) were lower than in those causing symptoms. Significantly less in the incidental group had metastasis at follow-up (p<0.0001). Incidentally discovered RCC constitute a major part of kidney tumors. They have a more favorable prognosis than symptomatic tumors and seem to be discovered in an earlier phase. Needle core biopsy is an accurate technique for distinguishing between malignant and benign tumors and is recommendable for smaller incidental tumors. Screening may help detect RCC at an earlier stage.

Influence of tumour-associated symptoms on the prognosis of patients with renal cell carcinoma

Abstract: Preoperative somatic symptoms and performance status in patients with RCC provide readily available prognostic information in addition to tumour size, stage and grade.
