Impact of Treatment Modalities on Prognosis in Patients With Renal Collecting Duct Carcinoma: A Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Renal collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) is an extremely rare disease with few studies, and the current understanding of its prognosis is limited. We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry data to explore the prognostic factors and effect of treatment modalities on the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with CDC.

Methods

Patients' information of CDCs diagnosed by pathological examination between 2000 and 2018 was extracted from the SEER database. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate OS and CSS and log-rank tests to evaluate the differences in OS and CSS. The associations between clinicopathological variables and survival outcomes were assessed with the Cox proportional hazard model. A directed ac
