Limited data exists regarding patients with early onset RCC. Our objective was to investigate the clinical and pathologic characteristics within this unique subset of patients with RCC. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed our surgical pathology database from 2011-2016 for patients with RCC. The clinical and pathologic characteristics of patients ≤ 46 years were compared to the overall population. RESULTS We identified 98/604 (16%) cases of RCC in patients ≤ 46 years. The median age of patients with early onset RCC compared to our control group was 38.6 (range 19-46) vs. 64.4 (range 47-89) years, respectively. Early onset RCC patients included Caucasians (55%), African Americans (40%), Latino (4%), and Asian (1%). Histologic subtypes, included clear cell (54%), papillary (29%), unclassified (7%), chromophobe (5%), clear cell papillary (3%), multilocular cystic neoplasm (1%), and carcinoid (1%). 20/28 (71%) of early onset papillary RCCs occurred in African Americans. Risk factors for RCC included hypertension (47%), smoking (22%), obesity (12%), diabetes mellitus (9%), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (16.3%). Known genetic syndromes prior to diagnosis were identified in 7/98 (7%) patients (1 Von Hippel Lindau, 2 Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, 1 Marfan, 1 Tuberous Sclerosis, 1 Birt-Hogg-Dube). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of tumor size, focality, margin status, presence of necrosis, or sarcomatoid features. Non-Caucasians were more likely to develop early onset RCC (OR 1.98; p=0.001). Patients with early onset RCC were more likely to receive a radical nephrectomy (OR 1.98; p=0.001), have lower grade tumors (OR 0.69; p=0.033) and present with organ confined disease (p=0.008). CONCLUSIONS Despite having more indolent tumor characteristics and organ confined disease, early onset RCC patients were more likely to undergo a radical nephrectomy. In addition, a high percentage of these patients had either concurrent, or risk factors for developing, CKD/ESRD. These findings suggest that this population is potentially being over treated and should undergo nephron sparing surgery if surgically feasible. © 2017FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 197Issue 4SApril 2017Page: e261-e262 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2017MetricsAuthor Information Win Shun Lai More articles by this author Tyler Clemmensen More articles by this author Ava Saidian More articles by this author Soroush Rais-Bahrami More articles by this author Jennifer Gordetsky More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
