Abstract
- A consecutive series of 41 patients with renal cell carcinoma treated by nephrectomy from 1976 to 1986 is presented. The crude 2-year survival rate for all patients was 63% and for patients without distant metastases 84%. The importance of factors relating to prognosis was investigated with multivariate survival analysis(Cox's statistical regression models). Stage and metastases were strongly and independently associated with survival. The presence of regional lymph node and tumor cell type showed a statistically significant association with survival. But the invasion of renal vein, tumor size, the age and sex of the patients, grade, presence or absence of gross hematuria sedimentation rate and side or site of the tumors showed no prognostic significance.
