Clear cell renal cell carcinoma bone metastasis: What should be considered in prognostic evaluation

ConclusionThe outcome of ccRCC-BM remained poor in unfavorable risk stratification. Bone lesions resection accompanied by systematic therapy for selected patient could improve prognosis. Shorter TTBM, elderly age, concomitant multi-organ metastasis and the expression loss of CA-IX along with gender-bias, feasibility for surgical treatment are suggested to be incorporated in modified ccRCC-BM-specific prognosis prediction system.
