Prognosis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients stratified by age: A research relied on SEER database.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma may affect patients of any age. To date, there are only a limited number of large data studies on renal clear cell carcinoma in different age groups. This study assessed CCRCC risk factors in different age groups using the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database.

Methods

We selected 58372 cases from the SEER database. These patients were divided into seven different age groups. Cox regression models were used to find independent risk factors for the survival of CCRCC patients. Based on independent risk factors, a nomogram was drawn with R software. Kaplan-Meier method for survival analysis and X-tile software were used to find the optimal age group for diagnosis.

Results

Univariate analysis revealed that pati
