The predictive accuracy of preoperative erythrocyte count and maximum tumor diameter to maximum kidney diameter ratio in renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive accuracy of erythrocyte count and maximum tumor diameter to maximum kidney diameter ratio (TKR) in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological epidemiological characteristics of patients with RCC in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from 2010 to 2014. Among them, 295 cases with complete follow-up data at the time of visit were selected. We collected data including erythrocyte counts and length of each diameter line of the tumor and kidney. To predict the prognosis of RCC, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to calculate the cutoff value of each parameter.

Results

Of the 295 included patients, 199 (67
