Potential of quantitative T1 mapping to serve as a novel prognostic predictor of clear cell renal cell carcinoma after nephrectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Accurate preoperative risk stratification methods are important for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients to enable personalized treatment. However, there are still no accurate and quantitative prognostic factors. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of T1 mapping in predicting the progression-free survival (PFS) of ccRCC after nephrectomy.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was performed in a China tertiary care hospital. This study reviewed the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of consecutive inpatients with pathologically confirmed ccRCCs between September 2014 and September 2021. PFS was evaluated by following patients until the first adverse event. Radiological features including T1 relaxation time of tumors were ass
