Summary: | Objectives: To analyze the characteristics and the prognostic significance of chromophobe renal cell carcinomas (chRCC).
Methods: Data about 2981 patients with non‐metastatic renal cell carcinomas (RCC) at the time of surgery were retrospectively collected from 26 institutions between 1998 and 2008. All patients had undergone partial or radical nephrectomies. Of the 2981 patients, 2602 patients with conventional RCC (cRCC) and 148 with chRCC were studied. Clinical and pathological parameters were determined in all patients. Recurrence‐free survival (RFS) and cancer‐specific survival (CSS) were assessed.
Results: Patients with chRCC differed significantly from those with cRCC on the following parameters: younger age (P = 0.026), greater female ratio (P |
