Oncological Outcomes of Primary Renal Malignancies other than Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma: A Retrospective Study from a Tertiary Centre in Southern India

JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH

Introduction: A lot of research is available about clear cell Renal Carcinomas (ccRCC). But there are lesser known facts about other subtypes of renal malignancies. With advances in immunohistochemical and cytogenetic techniques, new variants of renal tumours are being increasingly reported. The treatment and prognosis of such rare malignancies is still an enigma. Aim: To analyse the incidence, clinicopathological features, surgical treatment, and survival of non clear cell RCC at the tertiary care centre. Materials and Methods: The present study was a retrospective study in which histopathological reports of 77 nephrectomy specimens who underwent surgical treatment for suspected renal tumours from 2013-2018 were reviewed. Of which 19 (24%) patients had documented uncommon histologic variants of RCC. The clinical, demographic, and histologic characteristics of these patients were analysed, and survival was evaluated. The characteristic light microscopy and immunohistochemical featur...

Epidemiology and Clinicopathological Profile of Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Review from Tertiary Care Referral Centre

Journal of Kidney Cancer and VHL, 2021

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 3% of all adult cancers and 85% of all kidney tumours. Incidence of RCC is lower in Asian region, particularly in India, probably due to lack of reporting. Most of the data about RCC are from Western countries; and data from India are scarce, especially regarding para-neoplastic syndromes. We sought to determine the epidemiology, clinicopathological profile and management of RCCin a tertiary care centre in Western India. This was a retrospective study that involved data analysis of records of RCC patients who presented to our institution from April 2016 to February 2020. Laboratory investigations, including tests for paraneoplastic syndrome (PNS), and relevant radiologic investigations were performed and treatment was offered according to the stage, patient factors and available modalities. A total 142 RCC patients were included in the study. The median age of presentation was 58 years. Most of the patients (67%) were symptomatic, and 33% of t...

The clinicopathological profile of Renal cell carcinoma at BP Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital

Nepalese journal of cancer, 2022

Introduction Renal cell carcinoma accounts for 3-5%of all oncological diagnoses. In this study, we aim to assess the clinicopathological profile of Renal cell carcinoma in a cancer hospital of Nepal. Method This is a retrospective study conducted at BP Koirala Memorial Cancer hospital Nepal. All patients with localized and locally advanced RCC who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy at our hospital between Jan 2012 to Dec 2018 were included. Normally distributed continuous variables were expressed as median, mean ± standard deviation (SD). Categorical variables were expressed as frequencies and percentages of an appropriate denominator. Results Among 94 patients with RCC, the median age was 55 years (53.56 ±12.83). Most of the patients were male (56.4%, n=53) and Hindu by religion (67.02%, n=63). Eighty-three percent (n=78) of patients were smokers, 58.5 % (n=55) were hypertensive and 40.4% (n= 38) had history of diabetes mellitus. The most common symptom was incidental renal mass (42.55%, n=40). Ninety-five percent (n=89) of the patients underwent radical nephrectomy and five percent (n=5) of the patients underwent partial nephrectomy. The median duration of postoperative hospital stay was 8 days. The most common histological finding was Clear cell type (86.17, n=81) followed by papillary cell type (10.63%, n= 10) followed by chromophobe type (2.12%, n=2), and duct of Bellini(1.06%, n=1). Most of the patients had pathological T2 (41.48%, n=39) disease followed by T3 (26.59%, n=25) disease. Conclusion: Smoker males in the fifth to sixth decade of life are at risk for developing RCC. Radical Nephrectomy is the standard of care with Clear cell carcinoma as the most common histological subtype.

Study of Staging, Grading and Prognostic Factors of Renal Cell Carcinoma

IOSR Journals , 2019

Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma is by far the most common malignant tumor of the kidney and it accounts for 80-85% of malignant kidney tumors. All Renal cell carcinomas are adenocarcinomas derived from renal tubular epithelial cells. The prognosis of Renal cell carcinoma depends upon age, sex, race, tumor size, histological subtype, nuclear grade, distant metastasis and pathological staging. Material and Methods: The present study is both a retrospective and prospective study conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital. Histopathological evaluation of Renal cell carcinomas was carried out for four and a half years correlating with old records, histopathology slides, special stains and immunohistochemistry. A total number of 113 nephrectomy specimens were taken into consideration in the present study. H&E stained sections of the Renal cell carcinoma specimens were studied to grade and type the tumor and to evaluate the prognostic factors. Special stains and immunohistochemistry were also used wherever required. Results: A total number of 113 nephrectomy specimens were analysed and 26 diagnosed cases of Renal cell carcinoma were included in the study. Maximum number of cases were seen in 40-49 years age group (30.7%) and also in 60-69 years age group (30.7%). Maximum number of cases diagnosed were of Clear cell Renal cell carcinoma (61.5%). Least common subtype diagnosed was Collecting duct Renal cell carcinoma (3.8%). Tumor size was >4cm in maximum number of cases i.e 20 (76%). Most of the subtypes of Renal cell carcinoma had Fuhrman nuclear grades 2 and 3. Conclusion: In the present study, among the histological subtypes of Renal cell carcinoma, Clear cell variant of Renal cell carcinoma was the most common histological subtype, accounting for 61.5% of cases. Nuclear grading is important in predicting survival of patients with Renal cell carcinoma. Nuclear grading is strongly related to both tumor size and stage. Nuclear grading and staging of the histological subtypes strongly influences the survival of patients, as thus proven in this study.
