[Renal cell carcinoma diagnosis and prognosis within the context of the WHO classification 2016].

DISCUSSION: The complexity of the 2016 WHO classification of RCC put high demands on histopathological diagnostics. At University Medicine Center Rostock morphological distinct RCC entities have been mostly diagnosed by conventional means via hematoxillin and eosin stained slides, but beyond immunohistochemistry additionally molecular techniques were established. The histologic subtyping of RCC according to 2016 WHO classification has prognostic significance and might have predictive significance for unique therapeutic approaches.
