Abstract:
Objective To validate the 2010 Edition kidney cancer TNM staging in China.Methods Data were collected from 695 operated kidney cancer patients from Jan.1981 to Dec.2003.These patients were staged based on the 6th Edition and 7th Edition kidney cancer TNM staging system,respectively.The Kaplan-Meier method,log-rank test and Cox regression models were used to analyze survival functions.Results Compared to the 6th edition staging system,the number of patients with stage T3a,T4changed from 98 to 88,from 29 to 42 in new staging system,respectively.According to the 6th edition staging system,there was significant difference comparing perirenal fat invasion only with adrenal gland only ( P =0.08 ),there was no significant difference comparing Gerota fascia invasion ( stage T4 ) only with adrenal gland invasion only (P =0.412).According to the new staging system,there was no significant difference comparing stage T2b with stage T3a ( P =0.714). Conclusion The new kidney cancer staging system has better staging specificity and clinical application results in high accuracy.
