Background The tumor stage, size, grade, and necrosis (SSIGN) score was originally
defined using patients treated with radical nephrectomy (RN) between 1970 and 1998 for …

BACKGROUND: The stage, size, grade, and necrosis (SSIGN) score has been created as
an outcome prediction tool for clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) using review …

Purpose: We validated the Mayo Clinic SSIGN score in an independent European sample of
patients who were surgically treated for conventional RCC. Materials and Methods: In our …

Purpose: We validated the Mayo Clinic SSIGN (stage, size, grade and necrosis) score in an
independent Japanese sample of patients. Materials and Methods: Between 1985 and …

Purpose: Currently outcome prediction in renal cell carcinoma is largely based on
pathological stage and tumor grade. We developed an outcome prediction model for …

OBJECTIVE To compare the prognostic accuracy of the two most used integrated staging
systems to predict the outcome of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) …

PURPOSE: To date all prediction models for patients with renal cell carcinoma have
estimated outcome in static fashion starting from the date of surgery only. We created a …

Objectives The aim of this study was to establish comprehensive and practical nomograms,
based on significant clinicopathological parameters, for predicting the overall survival (OS) …

Purpose: The presence of necrosis has been proposed as an adverse prognostic factor in
clear cell renal cell carcinoma. However, classification based on a presence/absence basis …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the validity of potential prognostic parameters
of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) recommended by the 2012 International Society …
