Tumor grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma assessed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between CT findings and Fuhrman grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The study group consisted of 214 surgically proven ccRCC in 214 patients. Contrast-enhanced CT studies were retrospectively assessed for tumor size, cystic versus solid, calcification, heterogeneity of lesions, percentage of non-enhancing (necrotic) areas, and growth pattern. CT findings and Fuhrman grade were compared. Nineteen of 22 (86.4%) cystic ccRCC were low grade (Fu… Show more

“…Tumor grade is an important prognosticator in ccRCC, which is often associated with higher-stage and larger tumors ( Ishigami et al, 2014 ). Multivariate analysis integrating clinical features and CPTAC “omics” data found that numerous genes within each data type were associated with immune and stromal scores and with tumor grade (Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted p < 0.10; Figure S7A ).…”

“…Of the resected Bosniak III and IV cysts, 89.5% and 69.2% were of low ISUP grade, respectively. These findings correlate with a low grade of renal cell carcinomas in the literature irrespective of Bosniak category [13,14]. Given the relatively indolent nature of the malignant cysts, survival analysis studies with long-term follow-up would be useful to identify patient sub-groups who would benefit from surgical intervention or surveillance management, particularly in the Bosniak III and IV groups.…”

“…The malignancy risk of resected Bosniak III cysts is highly variable in the literature and is reported to be between 33 and 84%; thus, benign cysts are frequently resected unnecessarily [8,[10][11][12]. When classified as malignant by histopathology, Bosniak III cysts are frequently low ISUP grade and stage [7,13,14]. Although resection of Bosniak III cysts is advised for most patients, additional research, in particular with longer follow-up, is required to establish the rate of benign cyst resection and the frequency of low-grade/stage tumours in order to improve surgical decision-making.…”
