Abstract

Abstract Background To assess prognostic value of pre-operative ipsilateral split renal function (SRF) on disease-free survival (DFS) and its association with aggressive pathological features in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients.  Methods We examined patients registered in SNUG-RCC-Nx who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy at Seoul National University Hospital between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2020. Patients with the following criteria were excluded from the study. 1) non-kidney origin cancer or benign renal tumor, 2) no pre-operative Tc 99 m-DTPA renal scan, 3) single kidney status or previous partial or radical nephrectomy, and 4) bilateral renal mass. Finally, 1,078 patients were included. Results Among 1,078 patients, 899 (83.4%) showed maintained ipsilateral SRF on DTPA renal scan; 179 patients (16.6%) showed decreased SRF. The decreased SRF group showed significantly large tumor size (maintained vs. decreased SRF; 3.31 ± 2.15 vs. 6.85 ± 3.25, p < 0.001), high Fuhrman grade (grade 3–4) (41.7% vs. 55.6%, p < 0.001), and high T stage (T stage 3–4) (9.0% vs. 20.1%, p < 0.001). Pathological invasive features, including invasion of the renal capsule, perirenal fat, renal sinus fat, vein, and collecting duct system, were associated with low SRF of the ipsilateral kidney. Univariate Cox regression analysis identified higher SSIGN (The stage, size, grade, and necrosis) score and decreased ipsilateral SRF as significant risk factors, while multivariate analysis showed SSIGN (5–7) (hazard ratio [HR] 11.9, p < 0.001) and SSIGN (8–10) (HR 69.2, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with shortened DFS, while decreased ipsilateral SRF (HR 1.75, p = 0.065) showed borderline significance. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that decreased ipsilateral SRF (< 45%) group had shorter DFS than the other group (median DFS: 90.3 months vs. not reached, p < 0.001). Conclusions Among unilateral RCC patients, those with low ipsilateral SRF showed poor prognosis with pathologically invasive features. Our novel approach may facilitate risk stratification in RCC patients, helping formulate a treatment strategy.
