Node-RADS category on preoperative CT predicts prognosis in patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This research focused on investigating the relationship between the Node Reporting and Data System (Node-RADS) categories, determined via preoperative CT, and the outcomes of progression-free survival (PFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in individuals diagnosed with papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC).

Methods

A retrospective multicenter study initially enrolled 454 patients, with 218 eligible for analysis following partial nephrectomy or radical resection for pRCC. Prognostic factors related to PFS and CSS in pRCC patients were identified through univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Subsequently, the prognostic value of Node-RADS was assessed and compared with the existing pRCC risk stratification model.

Results

In total, 218 patient
