Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma: Results From a Large Single-Institution Series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of the study was to evaluate clinical features and prognostic factors in a large single institutional cohort of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC) patients for identification of tumors with the highest metastatic potential.

Patients and methods

Clinicopathological parameters of all patients with ChRCC diagnosed and surgically treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center between 1990 and 2016 were identified and compared with patients treated for clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) in the same study period using Wilcoxon test for continuous variables and Fisher exact test for categorical variables. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, log rank test, and Cox proportional haza
