Prediction of histologic grade and type of small ( & lt; 4 cm) papillary renal cell carcinomas using texture and neural network analysis: a feasibility study

ConclusionsThe histologic grade and type of small pRCCs can be predicted with classification algorithms using CM histogram and texture features, which outperform NC and NG phase image data. The accurate prediction of pRCC histologic grade and type may be able to further guide management of patients with small (< 4 cm) pRCCs being considered for active surveillance.
