Some patients with metastatic RCC are less likely to benefit from cytoreductive surgery if their expected survival is short. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for poor overall survival in metastatic RCC patients with tumor thrombus. METHODS Data was collected from 4 centers for patients with mRCC and venous thrombus at presentation treated surgically from 2000-2014. MSKCC, IMDC, or MDACC (Cancer 2010) prognostic systems were used to classify patients and Kaplan Meier analysis was used to estimate OS. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the association of individual variables with OS. RESULTS A total of 293 patients were evaluated and median OS (IQR) was 17.2 (6.4-41.0) months for the entire cohort. Venous thrombus level (Neves system) was 0,1,2,3, and 4 for 77, 38, 104, 45, and 29 patients. Median OS was worse (p=0.03) for patients with IVC thrombus above the diaphragm 6.8 (IQR 2.2-19.1) months compared to renal vein only thrombus 18.8(IQR 8.1-37.8) months or IVC thrombus below the diaphragm 18.9 (IQR 6.7-44.5) months (figure). Risk groups stratification was used to compare the ability of systems to predict short OS. MSKCC poor risk patients had median OS 13.4 (IQR 4.4-28.2) months, IMDC risk poor risk patients had median OS 12.5 (IQR 5.0-35) months and MDACC unfavorable risk patients had median OS 6 (IQR 4.4-28.2) months. Preoperative variables that were independent predictors of OS included: IVC thrombus above diaphragm HR 5.2 (95%CI 2.4-11.3); p<0.001, serum lactate dehydrogenase> ULN HR 1.7 (95%CI 1.1-2.6); p=0.01, and systemic symptoms (fatigue, weight loss, etc.) HR 2.2 (95%CI 1.4-3.3); p=0.0002. CONCLUSIONS Metastatic RCC patients with IVC thrombus above the diaphragm or patients classified as unfavorable using MDACC criteria have poor OS and may not benefit from cytoreductive nephrectomy with thrombectomy. © 2016FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 195Issue 4SApril 2016Page: e123-e124 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2016MetricsAuthor Information E.
