Abstract

In the present study, a comparative analysis of clinical-prognostic factors in symptomatic and incidentally found renal cell carcinomas is evaluated. A total of 141 patients with renal cell carcinoma were analyzed according to the TNMG system and involvement of the adrenals. More than 50% of surgically treated renal cell carcinomas are found incidentally. Prognostically, this group has advantageous factors.
