Clinicopathological features of non-conventional renal cell carcinoma histological subtypes: Learning points from a large contemporary series spanning over three decades.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To perform a retrospective review of the clinicopathological features of patients with conventional and non-conventional renal cell carcinoma (cRCC and ncRCC).

Materials and methods

A large prospectively maintained uro-oncological registry was accessed to extract clinicopathological data of patients diagnosed with renal tumors who subsequently underwent nephrectomy from 1990-2019. Demographics and operative parameters were extracted. Analyses of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional-hazards analysis was used to identify risk factors which influenced survival.

Results

There were a total of 1,686 consecutive nephrectomies which was retrieved, with 1,286 cRCC and 400 ncRCC. The comm
