Purpose: Areas of lower enhancement on computed tomography are frequently seen in renal-cell carcinoma. We investigated whether tumor enhancement on the most prominent hypodense areas correlates with the nuclear grade and other pathologic variables.
Methods: From 2004 to 2009, all consecutive patients with a preoperative tomography who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy for renal-cell carcinoma at our tertiary referral center were retrospectively analyzed.
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is linked to hormone-dependent cancers. Its prognostic implication in prostate cancer (PCa) is unclear. We analyzed the impact of MS in the survival of men with PCa treated surgically.

Methods: Patients with surgically treated localized ccRCC were studied. Using the Kaplan-Meier method, we calculated CSS; by univariate and multivariate models we analyzed the association of early recurrence with cancer-related mortality.
Introduction: The application of current prognosticators in locally advanced nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is controversial. We analyzed the impact of clinical and pathological variables on the survival of this subset of patients.
Patients And Methods: We studied patients with RCC in stages III and IV without metastases, treated surgically between 1980 and 2009.
