Introduction. To evaluate the prognostic outcomes and risk factors for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients with venous tumor thrombus in China.Materials and Methods. We reviewed the clinical information of 169 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy. Overall and cancer-specific survival rates were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to investigate the potential prognostic factors.Results. The median survival time was 63 months. The five-year overall survival and cancer-specific survival rate were 53.6% and 54.4% for all patients. For all patients, significant survival difference was only observed between early (below hepatic vein) and advanced (above hepatic vein) tumor thrombus. However, significant differences existed between both RV/IVC and early/advanced tumor thrombus groups in N0M0 patients. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that higher tumor thrombus level (p=0.016,RR=1.58), N (p=0.013,RR=2.60), and M (p<0.001,RR=4.14) stages and adrenal gland invasion (p=0.001,RR=4.91) were the most significant negative prognostic predictors.Conclusions. In this study, we reported most cases of RCC patients with venous extension in China. We proved that patients with RCC and venous tumor thrombus may have relative promising long-term survival rate, especially those with early tumor thrombus.

Introduction. To evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) on the subgroup of nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with venous tumor thrombus. Materials and Methods. We retrospectively reviewed the institutional database and collected the medical data of 156 patients with nonmetastatic RCC with venous tumor thrombus between March 2004 and December 2014. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were applied to determine the prognostic factors for cancer-specific survival (CSS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Results. The median value and optimal cutoff point of preoperative GGT were 23.0 and 37.5 IU/L, respectively. In the entire cohort, 67 (42.9%) patients experienced disease recurrence, and 46 (29.5%) patients died. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the CSS and RFS rates were lower in patients with preoperative GGT ≥ 37.5 IU/L than in those with preoperative GGT < 37.5 IU/L. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis demonstrated that high preoperative GGT was significantly associated with shorter CSS (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.115; 95% CI: 1.164–3.843; p=0.014) and RFS (HR: 1.955; 95% CI: 1.166–3.276; p=0.011), after adjusting other covariates. Conclusions. Preoperative GGT can serve as an independent prognostic biomarker of nonmetastatic RCC patients with venous tumor thrombus. Further prospective study is warranted to confirm our results.

Objective. The aim of our study was to compare long-term oncological outcomes following nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) and radical nephrectomy (RN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) 4 to 7 cm in diameter. Material and Methods. The study included patients who underwent RN or NSS for RCC 4 to 7 cm in diameter between 1998 and 2009. The studied groups were compared with respect to the patients’ age, sex, physical status according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical classification, histological type, stage, tumor size, grade, duration of the operation, and complications. Survival was established using the Kaplan-Meier method. The risk factors for survival were analyzed using a multivariate Cox regression model. Results. During the study, 351 patients underwent surgery: 317 patients (90.3%) underwent RN, and 34 (9.7%), NSS. The compared groups differed with respect to tumor size (P=0.001) and stage (P=0.006). The overall estimated 12-year survival was 53.7% after RN and 55.2% after NSS (log-rank test P=0.437). The 12-year cancer-specific survival in the RN and NSS groups was 69.6% and 80.6%, respectively (log-rank test P=0.198). Pathological stage and patients’ age were the major factors affecting both overall and cancer-specific survival. The type of surgery (NSS or RN) had no effect on survival. Conclusions. Our study showed that nephron-sparing surgery is a safe technique compared with radical nephrectomy that ensures good oncological control in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma measuring 4 to 7 cm and may be proposed as the treatment of choice for renal tumors not only up to 4 cm, but also 4 to 7 cm in size.
