Prognostic models are crucial for optimal management of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after surgery. Multiple clinico-pathological models to predict cancer outcomes in these patients exist and seem to have reached their performance ceiling. Future research needs to identify new prognostic markers and to consider when and how prognostic models for RCC are implemented into practice.

预测高危 RCC 切除后的癌症结局

预后模型对于手术后肾细胞癌 (RCC) 患者的最佳管理至关重要。存在多种预测这些患者癌症结果的临床病理学模型，并且似乎已达到其性能上限。未来的研究需要确定新的预后标志物，并考虑何时以及如何将 RCC 的预后模型付诸实践。
