Abstract: Objective-We evaluated our experience with renal cortical tumors to determine if tumor size is associated with malignant histology and/or nuclear grade.Materials and Methods-We identified 2,675 patients treated surgically at Memorial SloanKettering for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) or a benign tumor between 1989 and 2007. Histologic subtype and tumor size were obtained from our kidney cancer database and logistic regression analyses were performed.Results-Among the 2,675 tumors, 311 (12%) were benign while 2,364 … Show more

“…[5][6][7][10][11][12][13] However, making a definitive diagnosis remains difficult. Recently, 2 studies have reported a higher proportion of benign disease for renal masses located on the periphery of the kidney compared to those located centrally within the kidney or at the renal hilum.…”

“…The now well established fact that tumor-free survival is achievable by resection irrespective of whether a renal cell carcinoma is of 1 ½ cm or 4 cm size, eliminates the urgency of surgical intervention for a small carcinoma (8,9,11). This led to the concept of surveillance of small renal mass lesions and assessment of indolent or aggressive behavior, indicated by rate of growth, intensity of enhancement on early cortico-medullary phase CTs (tumor neo-vascularity) and by spiking of their rim (6,7,9,10,12). In older patients and those with medical co-morbidities this provides a period to establish and observe benign or indolent nature of the mass lesion without significantly reducing potential for tumor-free survival by delaying surgery.…”

“…neither size nor growth rate are reliable predictors of malignancy (1,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). In fact, even in lesions with a "0" growth rate, an 83% incidence of malignancy has been reported (7).…”

“…Taip pat buvo pastebėta, kad, didėjant naviko matmenims, palyginti su kito histopatologinio tipo navikais (papilinės, chromofobinės karcinoma), santykinai didėja šviesių ląstelių karcinomų nustatymo dažnis. Kito tyrimo, atlikto Thompsono su bendraautoriais [17], metu buvo ištirti 2 675 navikai (iš jų 2 364 (88 proc.) buvo piktybiniai).…”
