Risk Factors for Brain Metastases in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Conclusion: Both tumor size and age were independent risk factors for brain metastases in patients with RCC. The impact of age on the risk of developing BM from RCC was limited to patients with tumor size ≥ 7 cm. Patients with a larger tumor size and younger age might have the higher risk of developing BM at diagnosis of RCC. PMID: 32219138 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
