Racial disparities in nephrectomy and mortality among patients with renal cell carcinoma: Findings from SEER.

Purpose: To assess racial differences in the receipt of nephrectomy in patients diagnosed RCC in the US.

Materials And Methods: 2005 to 2015 data from the SEER database was analyzed and 70,059 patients with RCC were identified. We compared demographic and tumor characteristics between black patients and white patients.

Influence of Histologic Types and Subtypes on Survival Outcomes of Intermediate-High and High-Risk Renal Cell Carcinoma Following Nephrectomy: Findings From the SEER Database.

Objective: To understand the influence of histologic subtypes on the survival outcomes of intermediate-high and high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following nephrectomy.

Methods: This study employed data files from the SEER Program to identify patients diagnosed with intermediate-high or high risk RCC and treated with nephrectomy. Unadjusted Kaplan Meier curves, and multivariable Cox regression analyses were applied to estimate the hazards of histologic types for overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS).
