| Description | Renal adenocarcinomas represent approximately 3% of all malignant tumours detected in adult population. Approximately 20% of patients have metastases at the time of cancer diagnosis. Bilateral renal cancers are present in approximately 10% of patients. Adenocarcinomas occur 1,5times more often in males. The availability of ultrasound examination has led to an increase in diagnostics of clinically asymptomatic renal cancers. It should be noted that early diagnosis and treatment of renal cancer increases the chance of cure. In case the tumour is detected in its early stage the cancer specific survival (CSS) ranges from 79 to 100%. Approximately 85–92% of expansive renal processes are malignant; the most common type is the conventional renal carcinoma (90%). It is primarily growing from the cell of proximal tubule. Renal tumours classification is based on the 2004 TNM classification and pathological classification is based on the 1997 Heidelberg classification of renal neoplasia. |
