Evaluation of individual and cumulative sites of extrarenal tumor invasion in pT3a clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: In our study, PFI was associated with the most aggressive behavior while PSI was the most indolent. Furthermore, the presence of more than one pattern of invasion was associated with worse CSM. These results indicate that reporting of the individual location and cumulative amount of pT3a patterns of invasion in clear cell RCC is clinically relevant.
