In this study, we investigated the prognostic impact of renal parenchymal infiltration (RPI) in nmCCRCC based on the pathological analysis with focus on the tumor interface with normal renal parenchyma. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 333 patients with nmCCRCC treated with radical nephrectomy. Two pathologists reviewed surgical specimens and determined the presence/absence of RPI, which was defined as tumor infiltration into the renal parenchyma by involving normal renal tissue and/or by forming small nests that were separate from the main lesion. Pathological TN stage (UICC version 8), microvascular invasion, and WHO/ISUP grade were also evaluated and the impacts of those parameters on recurrence-free survival (RFS) were analyzed. RESULTS: The median age was 64 and 232 patients (70%) were male. The pathological analysis revealed invasions into perirenal fat, sinus fat, collecting system, and renal vein in 30 (9%), 33 (10%), 30 (9%), and 60 (18%) patients, respectively, resulting in 107 patients (32%) with ≥pT3a. Microvascular invasion was identified in 199 patients (60%) and 138 (41%) had WHO/ISUP grade 3-4. Overall 40 patients (12%), including 24 with ≥pT3a and 16 with pT1-2, were diagnosed with RPI.During the median follow-up of 6.0 years, 67 patients (20%) developed recurrence. In the multivariable analysis, ≥pT3a, microvascular invasion, WHO/ISUP grade 3-4, and RPI were independently associated with shorter RFS. The hazard ratio was highest for RPI (5.41 [95% CI: 3.10-9.44]) followed by microvascular invasion (3.04 [1.26-7.30]), WHO/ISUP grade (2.16 [1.20-3.87]), and ≥pT3a (2.13 [1.23-3.70]). According to pT stage and RPI, 5-year RFS was 17%, 40%, 76%, and 94% in the patients with ≥pT3a and RPI(+), pT1-2 and RPI(+), ≥pT3a and RPI(-), and pT1-2 and RPI(-), respectively (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: RPI is the primary determinant of poor prognosis in nmCCRCC among pathological parameters related to stage and grade. The presence of RPI predicts a high risk of recurrence early after surgery and adjuvant therapy may be considered for this population.
