VIENNA, AUSTRIA (UroToday.com) - The knowledge of histological subtypes of kidney cancer and their specific biological behavior has been an important step forward.

EAU 2011 - External validation of Karakiewicz preoperative and postoperative prognostic nomograms for renal cell carcinoma. A multicentre European study - Session Highlights

VIENNA, AUSTRIA (UroToday.com) - Prognostic systems to predict outcome of non-metastatic kidney cancer could have impact of possible adjuvant therapy and/or follow-up strategies.

EAU 2011 - Head-to-head comparison of the most relevant integrated prognostic systems predicting cancer-specific survival in clear cell renal cell carcinoma - Session Highlights

VIENNA, AUSTRIA (UroToday.com) - In the past 10 years four major prognostic systems had been published to predict outcome of non-metastatic kidney cancer: the Kattan nomogram, the Mayo Clinic Stage, Size, Grade and Necrosis (SSIGN), the University of Los Angeles Integrated Staging System (UISS) and the Karakiewicz nomogram.

EAU 2011 - Comparison of oncologic outcomes obtained after open or laparoscopic nephroureterectomy for the treatment of upper urinary tract urothelial cell carcinomas (UUT-UCC): A multi-institutional study - Session Highlights
