Abstract
- Accurate preoperative CT staging of renal tumor affects the therapeutic approach and aids the urologist in planning the appropriate procedure. CT staging were compared in 33 patients with pathologically confirmed stage of renal tumor. The overall accuracy of CT staging in renal cell carcinoma is 87.0%. The overall accuracy of CT staging in renal pelvis tumor is 80.0%. The major role of CT was in the evaluation of renal capsule, perirenal fat, Gerota's fascia, renal vein, inferior vena cava and lymph node for invasion. We conclude that at the present time CT is the optimal technique to stage renal tumor.
