Renal cell carcinoma
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults, originating from the lining of the proximal convoluted tubule. Risk factors include tobacco use, genetic factors, cystic kidney diseases, and exposure to certain chemicals. RCC is typically diagnosed through imaging tests and biopsy. Surgical removal of the kidney is the main treatment for localized RCC, while advanced or metastatic RCC may be treated with targeted drugs or immunotherapy. Prognosis depends on the stage, with localized RCC having high survival rates.

- 3. DEFINITION • Renal cellcarcinoma (RCC) is a kidney cancer that originates in the lining of the proximal convoluted tubule, a part of the very small tubes in the kidney that transport primary urine. RCC is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults, responsible for approximately 90–95% of cases. 3SUNIL KUMAR.P9
- 4. EPIDEMIOLOGY • The mostcommon neoplasm of the kidney (75%) or up to 85% . • - Arises from renal tubular cells . • - ( 2 – 3 ) % of all adulthood cancers . • - ( 40 % ) of patients die of cancer . • - Most common in 6th & 7th decades . • - Male : Female ratio 2:1 • - Blacks at an higher risk than whites. 4SUNIL KUMAR.P
- 5. ETIOLOGY & PATHOGENESIS •Various etiological factors implicated in the aetiology of the RCC are as follows. • 1.Tobacco • 2.genetic factors • 3.Cystic diseases of the kidney • 4.Other risk factors 5SUNIL KUMAR.P
- 6. TOBACCO • - Tobaccois the major risk factor for RCC • - Whether chewed or smoked and accounts for 20-30% cases of RCC • - Cigarette smokers have two-fold higher risk of developing RCC 6SUNIL KUMAR.P
- 7. GENETIC FACTORS • -Hereditaryand first –degree relatives of RCC are associated with higher risk. • Although majority of the cases of RCC sporadic but about 5% cases are inherited. • These cases have following associations • 1.Von Hippel Disease (VHL) • 2.Herediiatry Clear cell RCC • 3.Chromophobe RCC 7SUNIL KUMAR.P
- 8. CYTIC DISEASE OFTHE KIDNEY • -Both hereditary & Acquired cystic disease of the kidney have increased risk of development of RCC. • Pt’s .. On long term dialysis develop acquired cystic disease …….. Which may evolve into RCC. • Adult PCKD and Multicystic Nephroma is associated with higher occurrence of papillary RCC. 8SUNIL KUMAR.P
- 9. OTHER RISK FACTORS •Besides above, following other factors are associated with higher incidence of RCC….. • 1.Exposure to asbestos, heavy metals, petrochemical products. • 2.In women, obesity, & oestrogen therapy • 3.Analgesic nephropathy • 4.Tuberous sclerosis 9SUNIL KUMAR.P

GROSS FINDINGS • RCCcommonly arises from the poles of the kidney as a solitary and unilateral tumour, more often in the upper pole. • The tumour is generally large, golden yellow and circumscribed. • Papillary tumours have grossly visible papillae and may be multifocal. • About 1% RCC are bilateral . SUNIL KUMAR.P 20
- 21. • C/S –of the tumour commonly shows large areas of ischemic necrosis, cystic change and foci of haemorrhages. • Another significant characteristic is the frequent presence of tumour thrombus in the renal vein ………. Which may extend to venacava. SUNIL KUMAR.P 21
- 22. MICROSCOPY FINDINGS • 1.Clear Cell Type (RCC) – 70 % • - This is the most common pattern • - The clear cytoplasm of tumor is due to removal of glycogen and lipid from the cytoplasm during the processing of the tissue . • - The tumour cells have a variety of patterns ; solid, trabecular and tubular, separated by delicate vasculature. SUNIL KUMAR.P 22
- 23.
- 24. • 2. Papillarytype RCC : 15% • - The tumour cells are arranged in papillary pattern over the fibro vascular stalks. • The tumour cells are cuboidal with small round nuclei SUNIL KUMAR.P 24
- 25. • 3.Granular celltype : 8% • - The tumour cells have abundant acidophilic cytoplasm. • These tumours have more marked nuclear pleomorphisim. SUNIL KUMAR.P 25

- 33. DIAGNOSIS • Physical examination: •Fever • High blood pressure • Lab tests: • Complete blood count • Urineanalysis • Serum calcium • Imaging tests: • Ultrasound abdomen • Abdominal CT scan • MRI scan • PET scan • Renal angiography • Intravenous pyelogram • Chest x ray • Bone scan • Biopsy • Fine needle aspiration • Core needle biopsy 33SUNIL KUMAR.P
- 34. STAGING • Based onexamination, imaging and biopsy • AJCC (TNM) staging system: • T categories for kidney cancer: • T0: No evidence of primary tumor • T1: The tumor is only in the kidney and is 7cm or less across • T2: The tumor is larger than 7cm across but is still in the kidney • T3: The tumor is growing into a major vein or tissue around the kidney but not into adrenals or beyond Gerota,s fascia • T4: The tumor has spread beyond Gerota,s fascia. It may have grown into the adrenal gland 34SUNIL KUMAR.P

TREATMENT • If onlyin kidneys, it can be cured 90% of the time with • surgery. • If it has spread outside the kidneys into the nodes or the • main vein, it must be treated with cytoreductive surgery. • RRC is resistant to chemo and radiotherapy in most • Cases • May respond to immunotherapy • PARTIAL NEPHRECTOMY: • For treating small renal tumors(< 4cm) • Bilateral renal cell carcinoma • It can be done via laproscopic techniques 38SUNIL KUMAR.P
- 39. • RADICAL NEPHRECTOMY: •Surgical removal of kidney along with adrenal gland, retroperitoneal lymphnodes, perinephric fat an Gerota's fascia • In cases where the tumor has spread into the renal vein, IVC and right atrium, this portion of tumor can be surgically removed as well. • Medications like tyrosine kinase inhibitors including 39SUNIL KUMAR.P

- 41. PROGNOSIS • For tumorsless than 4cm 5 year survival rate is 90-95% • For larger tumors confined to kidneys without venous invasion survival is 80-85% • For tumors that extend through the renal capsule n local fascia survivability reduces to near 60% • For metastasis to lymph nodes survival rate is around 5-15% • For spread to other organs 5 year survival rate is less than 5% 41SUNIL KUMAR.P
