prognosis
Last reviewed 01/2018
The most important prognostic factor for renal adenocarcinoma is the extent of tumour invasion at the time of diagnosis:
| 5 year survival | |
| confined to kidney | 75% |
| invading perirenal fat | 50% |
| involving regional lymph nodes or renal vein or IVC | 35% |
| distant metastases | 10% |
About half of those who have curative resection for earlier stages of the disease also go on to develop advanced and/or metastatic disease (1).
