The effect of gender and age on kidney cancer survival: younger age is an independent prognostic factor in women with renal cell carcinoma.

Objective: Gender-specific differences in incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and its outcome have previously been reported. We used age as a surrogate to test whether this might be hormone-related in a large international RCC cohort.

Methods And Materials: This study included patients treated by nephrectomy at 10 international academic centers.

Management and outcome of bilateral testicular germ cell tumors: a 25-year single center experience.

Objectives: To analyze risk factors, management, histology, and outcome of bilateral testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) based on a 25-year single center experience.

Methods: Out of 612 patients treated for TGCT between 1982 and 2007, 17 (3%) were found to have bilateral disease. Data of these patients were reviewed and analyzed.
