A morphology-based nephrometry score to predict pathological upstaging to T3 renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with clinical T1-2 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) upstaging to pathological T3 showed worse survival prognosis than those without upstaging. We aimed to develop and validate a morphology-based nephrometry scoring system for predicting pathological upstaging to T3 of RCC.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 200 patients with clinical T1-2 RCC who underwent surgical treatment. The nephrometry scores were measured through preoperative computed tomography images. The risk factors of pathological upstaging were identified by logistic regression models. The predictive accuracy of a novel morphology-based nephrometry scoring system (M-Index), was compared with R.E.N.A.L (radius, exophytic/endophytic, nearness, anterior/posterior, location), PADUA (preoperative aspec
