Article Synopsis
- Current research on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) indicates that data on tumor size and subtype, especially in relation to metastatic disease, is often based on limited studies, potentially overlooking those with metastases at diagnosis.
- The study utilized a large dataset from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results registry to assess how tumor size and histologic subtype correlate with metastatic status in RCC patients diagnosed from 2004-2019.
- Findings revealed that larger tumor sizes correspond to higher rates of metastasis across various RCC subtypes, particularly for clear cell and papillary RCC, while chromophobe RCC showed lower rates even at larger sizes; this suggests previous reports may underestimate metastatic risks associated with tumor size.
